I do not intend this to be confrontational. I just want to tease out some of the details. May I go through each of the headings and get an understanding of what they are and the basis behind them? I apologise if Mr. Cooney does not have the parliamentary question before him. It says the estimated cost of living allowance was €2.4 million in 2012 and was paid to 335 people who served abroad. We have fewer than 300 serving abroad now, so it looks like everybody who was serving abroad at the time got it. Does everybody get it?
