We may need to have a follow-up meeting because we could actually spend a full meeting dealing with some of the subheads. It is no problem if members wish to do so. What I would like to do now is go through the figures and not spend too long on any one item; otherwise, we will be here until 6 p.m. There are other very interesting topics to be discussed. If members are interested in doing some extra work on this, we can have a special meeting and perhaps invite the Minister or his officials back to give a detailed, comprehensive briefing. I caution against going into too much detail on some of the subheads now because we could be here all day.

The next matter is the Garda Complaints Board, in respect of which there has been a slight reduction. Is every member happy with that?
