- Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform: Select Sub-Committee on Public Expenditure and Reform: Ministers and Secretaries (Amendment) Bill 2012: Committee Stage (26 Jun 2013)
Seán Fleming: I have three quick questions on the section. Has the Minister considered inserting the expenditure ceilings as a schedule to the Bill, or where is their statutory standing? The Minister will state it is referred to in the document that issues, the SPU, before the budget. It would make the Minister's job easier if he had the expenditure ceilings set in legislation instead of a Minister...

How satisfied is the Minister that his Cabinet colleagues and staff in the Departments observe that line because, as he mentioned here previously, the definition of current expenditure in one...

Seán Fleming: Exactly. I am sure what the OPW does under current expenditure could be considered capital expenditure by another Department. Previously, in the Department of Health we saw the HSE dipping into its capital budget to balance its current budget. Is the Minister satisfied that those definitions are sufficiently strong and correct? He has the blue book, but what I am asking is what is the...

Seán Fleming: As Gaeilge, as well. Finally, on this section, as we have mentioned capital expenditure, where fits the different stimulus packages for which the Minister called in this legislation? The Minister mentions current and capital expenditure in subsection (10). Where does the stimulus package work its way through these figures?
