The Comptroller and Auditor General highlighted that Ireland's contribution to the EU budget last year was €3.5 billion. That was 36% higher than in 2020. I know Mr. Hogan has a lot of notes, and I apologise if I am going over old ground but I heard only some, not all, of the contributions. The Department might forward a note to the committee on our contribution to the EU budget and give a year-on-year breakdown of how much we have contributed. What is the expectation for Ireland’s contribution in the coming years? Would it be to the same extent as this 36% increase? Would that be the average growth per year? How is that calculated?
