Maybe I am a bit lost here. The Minister is putting €14 million into the youth guarantee scheme, and the Government is committed to that. Some €32 million is coming out so there is an €18 million shortfall as a result of the Minister's deductions on social welfare payments. Is the Minister relying on other Departments, such as the Department of Education and Skills, to make up the other €18 million? That is what I want to know.
