Yes. It reflects the success of that particular programme.
The training programme was estimated at €17.5 million and it came in at €11.4 million, which is an underspend of €6 million. Approximately 40% of the savings under this subhead relate to the Department's contingency fund. This fund is reserved for unforeseen circumstances. We did not have any unforeseen circumstances to be able to draw down that money this year.
