I am finding it difficult to understand that while the Estimate for 2016 is €4 million less than the final figure for last year, we have greater pension expenditure requirements to meet. I just do not understand how we are squaring that. It seems like a deliberate under-estimation with a view to definitely requiring a Supplementary Estimate later in the year.
