With regard to the Comptroller and Auditor General, there is a point at which the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform is asking the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage to get pre-approval where that arises again. The Department of Public Expenditure and Reform guidelines indicate that the better approach to transferring the funding is to use the Supplementary Estimate. There is a point somewhere. Maybe the Comptroller and Auditor General will contribute.
