Under subhead D4, I note an increase from €256,000 in 2012 to €3,692,000 in 2013 for mining services. Will the Minister elaborate on this? Under subhead D3, the allocation for petroleum services was reduced from €1.1 million in 2012 to €398,000 in 2013. Will he explain this reduction? People believe we are going to have a significant oil or gas strike. I know there are several explorations going on. Will the Minister give us an indication if they seem promising?
