I appreciate that some of the changes in the subheads in the presentation of the Vote can make comparison difficult. The origin of the changes to the subheads lie in the roll-out of the financial management shared services system, so some subheads are new in 2024 and other subheads are deactivated. That is presented in the table we have set out. I expect that in the future such changes will be kept to a minimum but the change is as a result of the changes to the financial reporting system and to introduce a level of standardisation across the different Votes in terms of the different headings, in particular. On the Deputy's specific question, which I think relates to the administrative budget non-paid costs, he is asking about Vote 7, policy reviews, consultancy services and research, and the €100,000 allocation.
