I would refer the Deputy to the annual reports and accounts of the four State-sponsored bodies concerned which are laid before the House and which contain the data requested. The figures for employees' social insurance contributions are not contained in the annual reports and accounts of Aer Lingus and the B & I. These data, for the latest three years for which figures are available, are as follows:
