I cannot give an exact figure for all Departments for additional current expenditure for this year but I will come back to the Deputy about it. It will be a highly significant figure, given the amount of additional funding that has gone into agencies and the recruitment of additional staff, especially in the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. With regard to my own Vote, the majority of additional expenditure has been in the Department of Finance, to ensure that we have staff in place within the Revenue Commissioners. That figure for this year for the Revenue Commissioners is an additional €13.5 million.
