Appropriation Bill 2023: Committee and Remaining Stages (13 Dec 2023)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I understand and I am around long enough to understand this. It is somewhat strange that the figure is still at €2 million, which it has been for about five years. In years previous, while it may have been even longer than five years, it was quite a small figure but, as the Minister has said, in the overall scheme of things it is not that big.

Appropriation Bill 2023: Committee and Remaining Stages (13 Dec 2023)
