We will allow that there is a statutory reserve so we are probably talking about €200 million. We had it down to €20 million or €30 million when I was there. I know what the problem is, namely, that the Government considers it as new expenditure even though it is coming out of dormant accounts.

How much of the dormant accounts spend now is going to State agencies as opposed to voluntary groups? I ask that the Minister of State would come back to me with that figure because it is very important.
