Dr. Una May:

Generally, it would be an additionality. I would have to check with Mr. McLoughlin but I do not recall any occasions when we have been asked to take it from our existing funding. Although, around Covid, we took some of our reserves to support some of the Covid recovery that was happening in the sector. As a general rule, any additional funds and any specific requests, such as the money for the Aviva, comes as an additionality when it comes to our budget.
