I remind the Minister and colleagues that we are focusing on the Supplementary Estimate. We are not focusing on policy but following the money. We are discussing where the money is being spent and why it is being moved from one area to another. We will be following it every year from now on. We can have a meeting about policy later, but for now I want to know how many fewer payments were made to achieve a saving of €77,000 in subhead A4 - payments to the spouses of deceased members from the War of Independence. Is it because the people concerned are no longer with us or is it because the amount was overestimated?
