The expenditure estimates for my Department contain relatively small provisions for the administration of the Department and of the bodies which come under its aegis and it is anticipated that this funding will be spent during the year in accordance with the Department's operating requirements.

My Department is closely monitoring expenditure and will continue to do so as year-end approaches and any overall savings identified will of course be made available to the Exchequer. It is not yet possible to definitively identify the nature and amount of any such savings, as this often depends on the timing of activities and related events. However, it is not expected that there will be a material level of allocation not required by year end.
