I propose to take Questions Nos. 364 and 366 together.
The 2014 gross current expenditure allocation for Vote 36 (Defence) is €668.7m. The Department of Defence monitors and reviews expenditure patterns on an ongoing basis, and at this stage it is projected that the current expenditure allocation will be spent by year-end.
