Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

I would like to point out that some of the LPT is allocated for housing and for roads. To do the comparison, if we look at the screen, we try to separate out the element that was allocated to roads, so the LPT allocation is around €310 million for general purposes or unspecified purposes. There is an unusual figure as well in 2016. If we look on the previous row, on miscellaneous services, there is a figure of €99 million which is high relative to previous years. An element of that, I think, would be for what are typically general purposes payments. They are related to one of the pay agreements, Lansdowne Road.
