I refer to the Department's accounts and the outturn under subhead A of €50.6 million in 2012, compared to an estimate of €60.5 million, for the promotion of Ireland's economic and trade interests in Europe and internationally. Why is there such a discrepancy between the estimate and the amount expended?
