I ask for that information because the figure represents more than a doubling of the compensation and maladministration fee against An Garda Síochána. It is a whopping amount of money in the context of what we are talking about. I would really like to know how much of it relates to the fixed charge notice and summonses scandal. If we had a breakdown of the other claims made, it would be important.

My final point concerns the level of training and development and incidental expenses. There appears to be a fall-off or the lack of a breakdown. It seems to be a grouped figure. I would be worried if that was the case, given the importance of training. The issue has come up so often that we are not paying enough attention to it.
