Obviously very good work has been done by Revenue and other agencies on these issues. I want to focus on the capital overspend. There is €51 million for Brexit infrastructure capital, which the Minister has outlined is for Rosslare Europort in the main. Surely some of this was foreseen. Estimates were prepared this time last year, or perhaps it was earlier this year. This is not something that fell out of the sky with regard to the issues with infrastructure upgrades for Rosslare. Given the level of expenditure we are speaking about, of more than €50 million, how come this was not captured in the original Estimates of the Department?
