I have just two very quick questions. The Minister has a budget of €56,730,000, and a carryover figure of €6.155 million. That gives a capital sum of €62 million to be spent by the end of the year under the various subheads. The biggest lump is being spent on the programme for a decade of commemorations. How much had been spent by the end of June? In other words, are we at least halfway there, as we would expect?
