Ms Mary Hurley:
The reason there was the surplus was because of an appropriation-in-aid that came in for SICAP. It was not totally expected, so €36 million of that came in for SICAP in that year. That money went back to the Exchequer. The other amounts related largely to administration. They concerned pay and non-pay aspects. That was the reason for that.
