This is a bit confusing for me because €1.265 million is a 9.6% reduction. The Minister says that will not have an impact because the allocation was increased in the previous year. These Estimates do not mean anything so if that is the case. I cannot get my head around that. Are we saying the Minister does not expect that the €1.4 million will be spent so therefore the €1.2 million will be more than enough? If that is the case, why was €1.4 million spent this year? It is strange.
