Mr. John Conlan:

That relates to me and Ireland's contributions to international organisations. It concerns the UN in this case. In particular, that is the UN peacekeeping budget. It is notoriously difficult to estimate this figure every year. The UN works on the basis of a July–June cycle. In addition, there is a three-year budget process in the UN, with the first year being a really high contribution year. The contribution the second year is high, and in the third year it is quite low. 2020 was the second year. More than €3 million of the amount related to UN peacekeeping. It is based on the number of peacekeeping missions the organisation has and whether it extends them and makes more peacekeepers available on the ground. The figure does not become clear until well after the Irish budget, which is in October. This stuff happens later on. It is just very hard to estimate.
