That is fine. Could Mr. Quinn explain for the public the "net allied service expenditure" mentioned in the document. To me, it is the expenditure incurred and paid for by other Departments for the use of the Defence Forces. I am looking at the one that states the Department of the Taoiseach paid costs associated with the Defence Forces in 2015 of €72,000, an increase from €58,000 the previous year. What is it for? I think it is to do with the security of Leinster House and the complex. Could Mr. Quinn explain to the public?
