I propose to take Questions Nos. 83 and 85 together.

The Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform will supply the Deputy with the information requested in relation to my Department in his written response to question numbers 283 and 285 which are also for answer today. I have asked the National Economic & Social Development Office, which is the only non-commercial State agency under my aegis, to provide the Deputy with the corresponding relevant data for its organisation.
