Below profile can reflect timing or delayed delivery, not efficiency. The “share of estimate” is how much of the annual estimate has been reported so far, not a forecast of the year. DáilDex calculates each difference from the published figures, which are rounded to €1 million, so it can differ by €1 million from the Department’s own variance column.
