I will have to ask the Deputy to clarify his question about the lump sum so that I can answer it accurately, but I can answer the others now. I agree with him about sharing information with the committee. We will change that in future.
In 2015 there were 21,794 people in receipt of the payments covered by the superannuation Vote, and in 2016 that went up to 22,825.
The largest subheads of that were in regard to overall superannuations, namely, pension payments, which went to 15,400 in 2016. The next biggest group was in regard to spouses and children and that went to 4,380 people in 2016. Could Deputy D'Arcy please put the question on the lump sum to me again?
