Mr. John McCarthy:
The Chair asked me to come back during the meeting with a response to Deputy Catherine Murphy's point. It is as I said - motor tax comes into the Exchequer. It all goes into one bundle. It is not hypothecated or ring-fenced to go to the transport Vote or spending in that Department. It links in with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform separately. There is no ring-fencing.
