Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I have a number questions. We have had the discussion in regard to the numbers within the Defence Forces and the numbers that have been leaving. Has that exodus increased pressure on the amount allocated for pensions each year? If that continues, will an additional amount be required?

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: On subhead A4, concerning payments to spouses of deceased veterans of the War of Independence, I understand a once-off payment was made in 2016 as part of the commemorative programme.

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I thank all those involved in the Defence Forces and Civil Defence, in particular, for their tremendous work last week. Anything I say is not a slight on them or their work.

I think it was down to...
