Brian O'Shea (Waterford, Labour)

I, too, welcome the Minister of State. I hope that if somebody is being appointed to the Cabinet, he will be chosen. Indeed, if there is a wider Cabinet reshuffle, I hope he will find his deserved place.

With regard to the cash escorts provided by the Army, can the Minister tell us the value of the cash carried? I note the IBF members are paying 78% of the total costs to be paid by the banks. Are all the banks included? Is other money being conveyed around the country for which the State is not asked to provide cash escorts?
