Clarification of Matters Relating to Meeting of 2 February 2016 (15 Jun 2017) Catherine Murphy: It is not Monopoly money. We need to be able to scrutinise it. That is in the small print, but I accept that it is included in a couple of other sections of the report which I will read in more detail. It all has to come out of the health Vote.

Clarification of Matters Relating to Meeting of 2 February 2016 (15 Jun 2017) Catherine Murphy: An actuarial assessment will not be completely without foundation; it is projecting from something.

Clarification of Matters Relating to Meeting of 2 February 2016 (15 Jun 2017) Catherine Murphy: I did not really even mean to ask those questions. I had a number of other questions I wanted to ask.
