I think Deputy Brennan was under a complete misapprehension as to the significance of the sum of £20,000. It is quite obvious that, this service being of the nature that it is, it is exceedingly undesirable to have to come to the Dáil to ask for an increase in the Vote, and therefore it is considered prudent to have a very large margin in the Vote. It is quite true that the amount of the Vote was reduced from £20,000 in 1925-6 to £14,000 in 1926-7, and £10,000 in 1927-8. It remained at that until 1934-5, when it was increased to £25,000, and over £10,000 was spent. As I say, experience has taught us that it is desirable—if this service is to be operated in the way in which the Dáil intends it to be operated, that is, to secure the safety of the State—there should be a very large margin in this Vote, such a margin that unless circumstances are exceptionally abnormal it will not be necessary to come to the Dáil to ask for further money. It is for that reason that I, as the Minister responsible for the Vote, have taken the figure of £20,000 rather than the figure of £10,000, at which it stood prior to 1934-5. As Deputy O'Neill has elicited, in 1935-6 the actual amount spent was £7,611, and for last year it was £5,800. I do not suppose that the expenditure in the coming year will show any increase on that. In fact, I anticipate a decrease, but I think that £20,000 is a fair and reasonable sum, which will give us ample margin for contingencies.
