I thank the Minister and Minister of State for their presentations. I thank both the Minister, Deputy Mitchell O'Connor and the Minister of State, Deputy Halligan for acceding to our request to meet us, be it in Limerick or elsewhere.

Will the Minister of State explain the 11% reduction in total expenditure for innovation in the Estimates? It is section B on page 80 of the Revised Estimates.
