Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire agus a chuid oifigigh chuig an gcoiste le scrúdú a dhéanamh ar Estimates na bliana seo. I welcome the Minister and the officials to the committee as we look at the Estimates under the four different subheads. I will dive right into Vote 7, which deals with the Minister's own office. A total of €100,000 has been allocated under policy reviews, consultancy services and research. What is the outcome of this allocation? What is it earmarked for? Under subhead A4, €2.2 million has been allocated for consultancy and other services. Can the Minister explain why there is a new line item in the Estimates this year and the purpose of it? Why can it not be incorporated into the €2.2 million that is provided to the Department for consultancy and other services?
