Subhead A23 refers to the European peace facility and €5 million being handed over. I was surprised by that. I could be completely wrong, but normally when money goes to Europe it comes from the Department of the Taoiseach. I seek clarification on that money having come from the defence budget. I agree that an additional €9.5 million for the European peace facility was announced by the Taoiseach approximately ten days ago. Will that additional €9.5 million come from a separate budget or is it coming from the Defence Forces Vote?
