The next subhead A2.6 concerns the maintenance of Garda premises and €1.7 million is being sought in this regard, mainly to do with safety services and equipment, fire safety services and equipment, as well as plumbing and electrical matters. As there are no questions on that, we will move on to the next subhead, which pertains to station services. There has been an overrun in this regard of €1.175 million due to the cost of utility heating, electrical costs and other station services. Are initiatives under way within An Garda Síochána to bring in other technologies to reduce that bill?
