On the Attorney General's Vote, I understand that it is an independent office. That is well accepted. The Taoiseach may not have this material available to him but he might engage with the committee if he does not. Under subhead A.6, which relates to the consolidation and revision of planning legislation, the Estimate last year was €250,000 but nothing has been allocated this year. I assume that €250,000 was for the engagement of consultants and outside advice on the planning Bill.
