I propose to take Questions Nos. 266 and 267 together.
There are currently six officials employed in the State Pathologist's office — the State Pathologist, the Deputy State Pathologist, a senior scientist and three clerical officers. The State Pathologist's office has been allocated a budget of €550,000 for 2005, an increase of 5% on the 2004 figure.
