The Tánaiste has started addressing my next point, which is on PDF allowances. There is a reduction of €2.2 million in that budget, which is attributed to the withdrawal from UNDOF. Would that not be supplanted by allowances relating to the battle group? Is it the correct to say that there will be no such allowances in 2024 because participation will only begin in 2025?
