The Estimates could almost be accused of being obscurantist because of their sheer size. Deputy Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin is right. I got the wrong figure, but the same principle applies to projections for the State Claims Agency. How is this done? Is it based on court cases? How does the Department profile the spending in the year ahead? I may have quoted the wrong figure, but I have the same question.
