It is additional moneys. Deputy Ó Broin is correct about the €200 million that is a reallocation and is being moved back. The development levy waiver in particular and the Uisce Éireann connection charge were policy decisions the Government made after we settled our ceilings. They were additional, as was the expansion of the tenant in situ purchases. I got agreement at the time I brought them forward that we would need additional capital to support them.

The other increase relates to current spend, where the big piece is the additional funding required for homeless emergency accommodation and service. I had flagged that with the committee when I was here in June of this year.
