That is quite some movement. Similarly, on the IQC - I still call it the IQC; I cannot get used to the new name - there has been really significant movement and significant movement on the working family payment.

I will go through a couple of line-by-line questions on cost. I might come back to more general questions. I am looking here at the makeup of administration under the Supplementary Estimate, heading A.2. It is something that jumped out at me. The question I want to ask is about payments to agency services, which have gone up by €5 million. Notwithstanding what Deputy Ó Cuív said about how small €5 million is in the context of the overall budget, it is still a lot of money for agency services.

On A5, which deals with the one-parent family payment, we are €7 million less due to fewer recipients than anticipated. I assume those are people who have entered the workforce, but the Minister might be able to clarify why we were not able to project the number of recipients and why we came in at €7 million less.
