Under programme D pay and non-pay figures are self-explanatory. Again, there are no increases in the other areas but under the heading of promoting Ireland the published allocation is at the same level as at 2018. Funding under this programme enables the Department and its mission network to raise Ireland's profile internationally and support local and regional trade and economic initiatives as well as organising cultural activities.

Subhead D4 relates to contributions to national and international organisations. This allocation is set at the same level as last year.

It covers Ireland's contribution to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, OECD, and some smaller contributions, including to the Asia-Europe foundation.
