Going back to the Estimates, which is the main reason we are here today, I want to be certain if my analysis is correct. Under subhead B4, public service provisions payments, there is a figure of €92.515 million. Am I correct in saying that €82 million of that relates to the additional moneys given for the public service obligation in terms of the reductions in fares based on an initial estimate of €154 million? The Department has seen a saving of about €63 million due to increased passenger numbers. It found €9 million from the aviation travel package and travel tour operator fund, which brought the figure down to €82 million, and then there is €8 million for the adult card and €2 million for rural transport to be added. That makes up the €92 million. Is that correct?
