If there are no further questions or comments on this Vote, we shall move on. Vote 16 is the Valuation Office. Programme A is provision of a State valuation service and the administrative subheads are A1 to A4. On subhead A1, salaries, wages and allowances, are there any comments or questions? On subhead A2, administration - non-pay, are there any comments or questions? On subhead A2(ii), travel and subsistence, are there any comments or questions? On subhead A2(iii), training and development and incidental expenses, are there any comments or questions? On subhead A2(iv), postal and telecommunications services, are there any comments or questions? On subhead A2(v), office equipment and external IT services, are there any comments or questions? On subhead A2(vi), office premises expenses, are there any comments or questions? On subhead A2(vii), consultancy and value for money and policy reviews, are there any comments or questions? On subhead A3, fees to counsel and other legal expenses, are there any comments or questions? On subhead A4, national revaluation projects, are there any comments or questions?

The general theme is that the amounts for each has increased. Perhaps the Minister will explain.
