When I was going through it, it stood out as intriguing.
My second declaration is that I used to work for Fáilte Ireland, to which my next two questions relate. The estimated provision is €56 million, but the outturn was €55 million in 2015 and €61 million in 2014. That is a substantial decrease. Is it too easy to say that this was because The Gathering was over? What is the reason for the €5 million or €6 million of a drop in spend, given how important tourism is?
