The amount is €920,000 and the convention may or may not use all of that. There are two issues that the convention wishes to conclude in this session, namely Dáil reform and economic, social and cultural rights. When the work is completed on those two areas and the convention sends in its report, I will talk to the chairman to get his views on how he and the convention should operate in the future. We have built up a bank of issues upon which the Government will have to make decisions in terms of whether referendums should be held in 2015. I have already signalled that it is the Government's intention to hold a number of referendums on the issues that have been reported on by the convention. While a figure of €920,000 is included for 2014, I cannot say whether all of that money will be used.
