The long statement was good and interesting. I will have to leave during the slot to deal with the Finance (No. 2) Bill, so I will just ask Professor McMahon a priority question. Maybe I will have time to contribute again later.
Could Professor McMahon outline exactly how he determined that the Government had €850 million in unallocated current expenditure moneys to cover the pay deal? Are there other commitments outlined by the Government that may need to be honoured through the €850 million, or is it solely for the public pay deal?
