Mr. Kevin McCarthy:

The most significant factors there were early years and international protection. As the Deputy will recall, as a result of Covid-19 closures in 2021 from the earlier part of the year, services were closed due to public health restrictions other than to essential workers. That, therefore, resulted in significant savings on the early years front in particular. In the case of international protection, the overall arrivals numbers were significantly down in 2021 on the normal projected arrivals level, again, because of international travel restrictions in that case.
