Great. I wish to briefly discuss the equality budgeting objective. Am I right in saying that the 2025 Revised Estimate was €6 million and is down to €5 million for 2026? Obviously, equality is a huge focus of mine. It is very important that we deliver upon equality. Until we do, we do not have a finished democracy. Considering we have the launch of the national study for women and girls, a reduction raised a concern for me.
