People should bear in mind that when we go with a payment run a great deal of money gets distributed in a short period. That is the nature of these schemes, be it the basic payment scheme or GLAS. We always said that under the new GLAS in the first year we had budgeted €20 million. Obviously, when GLAS is fully up and running it will spend approximately €240 million and 50,000 people will be in the scheme. In the first year, we were keen to get it up and running. We will have the payment run before the end of the year. We plan to spend €20 million. I take the point the Deputy made. Maybe we will send him the detail he has asked for.
