There is a subhead under A8 that relates to defensive equipment, aircraft, naval vessels and ammunition. From what I can see, it is reducing to less than 2022 levels, which were actually the levels before the Commission on the Defence Forces. From what I can read, it is a reduction of over €27 million, which is almost 20%. Is there a reason for that? Has that been allocated to another line?
