I thank the Deputy for her questions. I do not have the outturn for 2020 with me because we are dealing with the 2021 Supplementary Estimates. I can, however, answer a number of the questions she has put. For example, the average annual Civil Service pension last year came in at just under €24,500. That is up from a figure of €23,000 in 2019. The average Civil Service lump sum payment, in the year to date in 2021 to the end of September, was €73,100. For 2020 it was just under €69,600.

That is just to give the committee an indication of the average. As members knows, the lump sum is typically three times the level of the pension in respect of an individual person. I will obtain for the Deputy the figures for 2020 by way of the outturn. I believe the gross provisional outturn for 2020 is approximately €628.4 million in respect of the superannuation and retired allowances for Vote 12. Did the Deputy have another question?
