Trevor Sargent (Dublin North, Green Party)

Is there an explanation for the decrease of 67% in the Estimate for the information society, e-Cabinet and other initiatives, as it is larger than most decreases? I note an increase again this year for the provision for the National Forum on Europe. This decision was made at a time when a referendum was anticipated. Given that there will not be a referendum on Europe, is this increase a sign of denial of this or will the Estimate stand or be revised?
