The Revised Estimates Volume for Public Services 2008 provides for net current expenditure of €508.8 million for my Department, Vote 39, and €583.8 million for Vote 41, the Office of the Minister for Children. Based on the returns for the 1st Quarter 2008 it is expected that expenditure for both Votes will remain within profile throughout the year.
