I will throw out some questions on subhead A1. Some of this may be related to the different way of presenting figures this year. As I see it, there is a reduction in administration pay. Does that relate to a staff reduction? Why are we seeing that? On A3, for the Environmental Protection Agency, EPA, we see a change in current versus capital expenditure. Under the capital programme, was there a specific building project last year versus what is projected for the year ahead? Under A8, the just transition fund, there is €11 million versus €34 million.

The reference is to the EU and Ireland. Is this all Exchequer funding or will we earmark funds that will come through the EU just transition fund? If that is the case, how is that divided? Up to €86.5 million is identified for the EU piece. When will we see that? Do we expect to see it? How will it be spent?

How is the climate action fund referred to in subhead A10 budgeted for in the Revised Estimate? I do not see a figure there. Will there be an impact on the climate action fund on the basis of the biofuels obligation offset?
