As for the Government's view of non-core expenditure for next year, it is €700 million compared with €5.2 billion this year. Obviously, this year's expenditure was largely the support package for households in response to the cost-of-living pressures, but can the Ministers give us a breakdown of the €700 million in non-core expenditure? Is that the humanitarian supports in respect of Ukraine? Is it the Brexit adjustment fund? Has that number now gone down to that level?
