I thank the Minister for the clarification on the roads. It saves me a question.

I note he spoke of making a payment to the aviation authority for exempt services. I thought the aviation authority was a significant profit generator. Am I to assume that it already makes a dividend to the State but it does not show in the Department's accounts? He might clarify whether it goes directly to the Exchequer.

Towards the end, the Minister talks about miscellaneous aviation services. Proposals are about to go out for aviation related consultancies. How much is set aside for that consultancy, at subhead A4.6, miscellaneous aviation services? He set out the purpose but not the funding for that consultancy.
