I take it the Deputy is referring to appropriations-in-aid received into my Department's Votes for each of the calendar years 1995 to 1998 — the financial year for Departments and offices is the calendar year. The information requested by the Deputy is set out in the following tabular statement, which reflects the levels of appropriations-in-aid for the years in question including a percentage analysis between the levels in 1995 and 1998. The figures are in Irish pounds as this was the reporting currency for the years in question. The Deputy will also note that appropriations-in-aid are derived from a range of sources not all of which relate directly to charges.
