It is a question of what is substantial these days. By comparison with the €6.5 million Estimate, the outturn is low.
I have a general question. Why are we addressing the Estimates later this year than in previous years? One big advantage of moving the budgetary cycle to October was that we would have Estimates before the commencement of expenditure. Last year we dealt with the Estimates on 15 January but we are doing so five weeks later this year. Is there a reason?
