Departmental Expenditure.
3:00 pm
Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)
I propose to take Questions Nos. 7 to 10, inclusive, together.
Expenditure by my Department from January to the end of June 2008 was €16,813,000. At the end of October, total expenditure was €26,986,000 compared to a total Revised Estimates provision for the year of €42,240,000.
While fluctuations in spending occur from month to month and some expenditures do not fall due until the end of the year, I am satisfied that overall spending by my Department for 2008 will remain within the agreed Revised Estimates for the year, as adjusted in line with the recent Government decision of 8 July 2008.
