These are political agreements that I have entered into as Leader of the Fianna Fáil Party with individual independent Deputies. These agreements are confidential but they are, as always, based on the Programme for Government which incorporates the National Development Plan, approved Government Programmes and Annual Estimates for capital and current expenditure. As the Deputy will be aware, such arrangements have existed for over ten years and in all instances, I have used my best endeavours to deliver them.
