The control of expenditure, budgetary management and financial management generally is a significant priority for top level management in my Department and its associated bodies. All expenditure across the five Votes that comprise the Justice and Equality sector is monitored on a monthly basis by the Department's financial management committee. It is much too early in the fiscal year to make firm projections in relation to savings (if any) across the Vote group. However, my Department is committed to remaining within the overall budget for the Vote group.
