In the accounts, a saving of €113,000 was achieved on the disability awareness initiative. This concerns me because when it comes to the area of disability, Mr. Purcell's Department has quite an important role in terms of public awareness of, understanding of and education about the equality agenda. The budget had already been slashed from €865,000 to €307,000 between 2011 and 2012 because of the economic situation in which the country found itself. Considering there has been such a drop in the budget from €865,000 to €307,000, I am concerned how the Department managed to save €113,000 and was not able to spend that.
