Fergal Browne (Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 10:

In page 30, line 41, after "Finance" to insert ", such figure having been laid before each House of the Oireachtas".

This amendment relates to obtaining the Minister's permission for major capital expenditure. It also concerns overspending when a capital project may exceed its original budget. The amendment seeks not alone to lay that decision before the Houses of the Oireachtas but also to specify the actual sum of money involved because that is not included under the terms of the legislation.
