What we are dealing with here is under subhead B3, grant to RTE, grants and aid. The subhead comprises 35% of the Votes adjusted gross allocation. The third metric provided, the allocation relating to independently produced programmes, increased for the period 2015 to 2017 but the expenditure itself remained the same over that period. Can the Minister expand on the reasons the allocation increased but the expenditure remained static? Do any members have any other questions?
