Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
Sorry, yes. I am using a different code. The Chairman will see that in Vote 13 - Office of Public Works, there is a figure on expenditure on the OPW Vote of €13.9 million related to the provision of services and accommodation to the Department. There is a notional rent figure of €10.9 million for buildings that are State owned. That is an estimate of the value of those. It is an accommodation bill of about €25 million in total for all the buildings.
