The Minister is saying there will be no significant change to the Votes or the outlying figures from Department to Department, although there may be switches from capital into current in any given year, and that it will be consistent with what was published.

Over the next three years, there will be an increase of €290 million, or 0.3%. Will the Minister indicate where that €290 million will be allocated? Which Departments will see an increase? Is the figure of €290 million a net increase, that is, does some of it comprise savings or decreases which are likely in other portfolios?
