The preparation of an Annual Output Statement for my Ministerial Vote Group, which includes the National Gallery of Ireland, forms part of the Budget and Estimates Reform process introduced by my Cabinet colleague, the Tánaiste and Minister for Finance, Brian Cowen, T.D., and the first of such statements was prepared earlier this year.

The Output Statements for my Department and for the National Gallery of Ireland were submitted to the Oireachtas Select Committee on Arts, Sport and Tourism to inform their deliberations on the 2007 Revised Estimates for my Ministerial Vote Group and the sectoral targets contained in the Statement were published in my Department's Annual Report for 2006, which was published earlier this year.

The 2007 Output Statements for my Ministerial Vote Group have not been published on my Department's website, but I have asked the relevant officials in my Department to make the 2007 Statement available on the website with immediate effect.
