Subhead D3 deals with promoting Ireland. Given the year we have had with Brexit, not to mention the years to come dealing with the same issue, I would encourage greater funding for such programmes. I have found that investment in promoting Ireland abroad pays huge dividends, even if it does not come back directly to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. Our international standing is helped by investment so it is a pity that it is only increasing by €1,000. There may be other programmes related to this one but it is logical to increase it.
