My first point relates to the savings of €54 million. The document we have states the gap will be covered to some extent by lower budgetary requirements in 2014 because schemes have closed and so on. Will the Minister give us a breakdown of the savings from the closed schemes? That would give us a better picture of the impact of the reduction.

My other question relates to information. The select committee dealt with the Revised Estimates in July. We received spreadsheets of the subheads and so on and that was very useful. I had thought we would have similar information for today, and it would be useful in future to have that information because it gives a breakdown of where the changes arise.
