I will come back to the Deputy with details on that because I want to make the point to the Deputy that the €886,000 is the same as what we started off with last year in June. If one looks at the figures, it was €886,000 in 2016. For particular operational reasons in the middle of the year extra money was made available. We have now gone back to the original. We have kept it the same. It has not been reduced but there was that extra Estimate at Estimates time. There was extra money put in. I will come back to the Deputy with details of the training that is being done and explain it but I want to be very clear there is an ongoing focus on training.
