Yes, it is commercial. In respect of the figure he raised, I do not wish to mislead the Deputy and have not misled him in the sense that the maintenance budget has transferred. The issue does not arise now because the budget is here since 2013.

However, there is an issue regarding the recovery of funds from the Social Insurance Fund and an agency fee. Regarding recoveries for services carried out on a repayment or agency basis, which is under subhead J4 that the Deputy raised, from goods and services we get €9,529, an agency fee of €826,634 and, from the Social Insurance Fund, which repays the OPW, half the rents of all properties.
