On page 11 of the report, paragraph 1 states that the weekly capitation grant fee was calculated for the provision of food and lodgings, including laundry for each student in the college. This was calculated in the late 1980s and it has been indexed linked since then. The capitation grant per student in the period audited was €77.92 per student per week. This did not change from 2009 onward. These payments came from the subhead, living allowance, within the Garda Síochána Vote, totalling €2.8 million in the period audited in table 1.

The only breakdown we have of the voted expenditure of €112 million is that €2.8 million related to this living allowance and the capitation grant about which we have been speaking. Is it possible to provide us with a breakdown of the remainder of the €112 million?
