Mary Upton (Dublin South Central, Labour)

While I appreciate what the Minister is saying, in 2007 there appears to have been a once-off payment of €2 million and a once-off payment in 2008 of €1.5 million — admittedly for different projects. However, it is a smaller once-off subscription whether in the area of either disadvantage or disability. It appears to be a reduction of €500,000 however that money is directed.
