Under subhead A4, a capital cost of €345,000 is indicated for 2012. To what did this cost relate? The subhead also indicates an increase of approximately 20% in the cost of insurance policies in 2013. Will the Minister of State elaborate on that matter? The number of traffic movements at State airports increased slightly during the past two years but this would seem to have been at the expense of some of the regional airports. Will the Minister of State comment on that? My final question relates to the fact that non-pay administration costs have risen by approximately 12.5% in 2013. What was the reason for this increase?
