Mr. Paddy Hopkins:
As the Deputy mentioned, the big item is the employment subsidy scheme. This was a one-off initiative announced by the Government in late 2009 and we spent a total of €114 million, most of which went out in 2010. A small amount went out in 2011. It was a one-off initiative that we administered on behalf of the Government in 2010 and 2011.
