I expected the same but we are socially distanced here anyway. The issue of deferred pension funding comes up repeatedly, and there are other pensions, such as those in the health services, that Mr. McCarthy stated are funded as they go. Are pensions for universities and colleges funded in advance? Are they fully funded? How does that work? Mr. McCarthy might give us a note on that. I presume the cost of the liability for pensions in the health bodies is fully captured by the Department of Health. I presume that cost is included in the health budget as we go.
