In terms of requiring money, I have already indicated that the Department of Justice and Equality and the Department of Health will require Supplementary Estimates. There will be additional moneys in the stimulus package for the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport, as well as some technical adjustments whereby money is moved within Departments.

The issue of Supplementary Estimates is the norm. It is good practice, if priorities are reset during the year, for the line Minister to have the capacity to propose using the same amount of money approved by the House in a different way.
