The contingency fund is €200,000 but the provisional outturn last year was €6,000, which is quite small. Subhead A6, medical expenses and travelling and incidental expenses, shows a fairly large increase from €38,000 to €100,000. There is no major change in respect of appropriations-in-aid receipts. The data are well presented, with all of the details clearly set out. Do members have any questions or comments on Vote 35? No.

We move on to Vote 36, Department of Defence. Subhead A1 is administration - pay, which has increased from €17.318 million to €17.951 million. Are there any comments on this subhead?
