It suits me, though, because I have to rush off.

I will have to go, but if the Minister of State does not have some of these answers to hand, he might provide them in writing.

Some of the questions will also probably pertain to next year's Estimates. The first question relates to subhead A4, which indicates the Permanent Defence Forces' allowances breakdown. For overseas, it is more than €13.5 million. Is that rebatable by the United Nations, given that it is overseas? Often overseas costs incurred on United Nations duty may be recouped in full or in part by the State, depending on the nature of the service overseas.
