I will continue to list the subheads. On subhead A2(vii), recruitment costs - research and corporate governance, are there any comments or questions? On subhead A2(viii), recruitment costs - advertising and testing, are there any comments or questions? On subhead A2(ix), recruitment costs - interview boards, are there any comments or questions? On appropriations-in-aid, are there any comments or questions? On the pension levy, are there any comments or questions?
Under subhead B, appropriations-in-aid, there is a deduction of 79% in 2013 over 2012. This reduction in appropriations-in-aid is due to technical accounting in respect of moneys due from other Departments and offices and, as such, does not represent an actual fall in income.
Perhaps the Minister could provide an addition on that.
