It is a question for the Minister, Deputy Paschal Donohoe. I could not tell the Deputy what the allocation for defence is. All I know is that, when I go to Europe, on the sides of the meeting that I attend, but never at an official meeting, I hear people talking about defence spending. The rule for NATO is that at least 2% of GDP must be spent on defence.
