Is that money completely gone or, in light of the fact the report of the Commission on the Defence Forces has now been published, is there any chance of having a supplementary budget to get that €23 million back? I am concerned because 12 months were spent - I will not say that time was wasted because it was not - waiting for the report of the commission. If the budget for the 2023 financial year will not be announced until October, could we not get that €23 million back and start implementing the report of the Commission on the Defence Forces as soon as possible?
