Yes, it may well be to do with incidental expenses. I will check it for the Deputy. Ongoing training and supervision is a high priority as per the inspectorate's report. For example, new recruits coming out of Templemore are not in the position that was identified in the O'Higgins report in which they did not have supervision and support when they left and were dealing with cases on their own. There has been a change to that. There is an increased focus on professional development.
