I propose that we proceed with the consideration of the Estimate proper. Let us consider programme A. The Minister remarked that the costs of running his Department would be down by €8.5 million overall. I propose that we go through administration, programme A covering all sectors. This will be a general examination. Members may wish to make comments now and I will call them in the normal way. Deputy Pringle is first. You may wish to make a general point.
