Mr. Aidan O'Driscoll:
The budget was €645,000. I do not have the figures for previous years. We are in regular discussions with the Office of Public Works, particularly in Portlaoise, about our staff who are scattered in a number of offices. This is undesirable from a management perspective and we are trying to concentrate them in one office. The most likely office is Government Buildings which is in the ownership of the OPW, which would mean cutting the figure for rent.
