As colleagues will be aware, the main purpose of the Bill is to give statutory effect and authority to the Estimates approved by the Dáil this year. It also forms the basis for the statement of authorised issues, which sets out the amounts authorised to issue from the Exchequer from the beginning of 2014. The Bill also provides for the capital carryover from 2013 to 2014, which is listed by Vote. It also provides for repayable advances from the Central Fund to the Paymaster General's supply account to facilitate payment by electronic funds transfer, EFT, of particular liabilities on 2 January 2014. I commend the Bill to the House.
