I will check the records for last year and contact Deputy Doherty directly about the Hill of Tara. I thank her for making me aware of that.
The total staff numbers in Áras an Uachtaráin are coming down. On 1 January 2014 there were 24 people working there and on 1 January 2015 there were 20 people. The budget was provided at the end of 2014 in anticipation of 2015 but we do not expect it to be fully spent. There was an extra pay day which inflated the salary figures. I will come back and clarify that is the reason.
