Dara Calleary (Mayo, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I am seeking the Minister's opinion on the robustness of the Government's expenditure ceilings. I note from recent Exchequer returns that all Government Departments are more or less within profile in terms of expenditure. Is the Minister satisfied with the robustness of the system, or does it need to be reviewed? What are the penalties for Departments that breach those ceilings?
