Appropriation Bill, 2002 [Certified Money Bill]: Second and Subsequent Stages.
I will now outline the main factors which have given rise to the additional expenditure and the requirement for the Supplementary Estimates this year. The total amount of €496 million can be broken down as follows: health and children –€210 million; transport –€100 million; education and science –€91 million; justice, equality and law reform –€28 million; and other sectors –€67 million. The areas of health, transport and education account for €401 million or 80% of the total amount of the Supplementary Estimates.
