It is 10% of the overall budget we agreed earlier this year and it will increase, obviously. There is more for next year. Even though we are likely to recoup that through the BAR, I think it should be included.

The final question I will ask the Minister about the Estimates relates to Revenue. We had this discussion in the context of the finance Bill and we talked about the increase in tobacco duty, which went up by 70 cent. Is that correct? Was it 70 cent or 75 cent?
