Subhead D is appropriations-in-aid. I will lead on this should anyone else wish to contribute. Can the Minister give us information on subhead D.6, the Dormant Account Fund, where there is an increase of €1 million? Subhead D.7, EU receipts under the EU Programme for Peace and Reconciliation have gone from zero to €740,000. What is that for? Furthermore, has she had any discussions with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, perhaps, or at EU level as to whether there might be issues relating to peace and reconciliation funding, which is in subhead B as well, as it applies to your Department and whether any impacts are expected in future annual accounts? What impact might Brexit have on those subheads?
