Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:
The spend in 2018 was €26.2 million, but that does not mean that the allocation for 2019 was as high as €26.2 million. In fact, it was lower. The spend was only known at the end of the year. The allocations were worked out slightly earlier than that. We have been indicating that we expected the expenditure to be higher, but it was not possible to cater for all of that in the Estimates discussions.
