The subhead provides for Ireland's subscriptions to a range of international organisations in the natural resources sector. It includes contributions to the International Lead and Zinc Study Group, Integrated Ocean Drilling Program, International Union of Geological Sciences and EuroGeoSurveys.

We will be exiting ocean drilling rather than continuing it.
