Mr. Peter Finnegan:
To answer the Deputy's last question first, the increase of €9.7 million resulted from a strategic decision that we did because there was funding available in the final year of our three-year budgetary cycle. The service basically recommended to the commission that we bring forward ICT expenditure. Hence the reason the extra €8 million was invested in ICT.
