I raise a small issue. There was a change from 2015 to 2016 in respect of expenditure by the National Shared Services Office. Obviously, this is related to salaries. Given that many, although not all, Departments and State organisations are covered by the National Shared Services Office, payroll is obviously the big ticket item. Staff numbers in the President's office did not change so why would that figure have changed?
