It is Vote 40 and I am referring to page 5 of the 26-page briefing provided by the Department in advance of today's meeting. I seek clarification as to the organisations and as to why grants part funded by the national lottery to these respective organisations, estimated as €910 million in 2014, are not now to be provided. There is a 100% discounting of these for this year. I will leave it at that for now, but will raise other issues as we come to them.
