Mr. Michael Culhane:

Yes. It is an annual grant to the medical aid society, which covers the medical expenses of members who contribute to that fund and who are injured on duty. Subject to the outcome of a court case, the member reimburses the association for the medical fees. It may take several years for the case to be brought to a conclusion. The grant of €124,000 or €125,000 per annum helps defray the costs of the society, subject to receipt of audited accounts and a tax clearance certificate.
