Question 120: To ask the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if she will, in future, publish on a monthly basis, on her Department's website, the monthly outcome of income and expenditure under Vote 38 and, in particular, publish a complete monthly analysis of income and expenditure of the social insurance fund. [26408/08]

The information requested is given in the following tabular statements. Table A sets out the 2008 monthly schedule of planned expenditure for Vote 38 and Table B sets out the corresponding expenditure and income schedule for the Social Insurance Fund. Given the demand led nature of the Department's schemes and the difficulties associated with scheduling expenditure on weekly schemes into a monthly framework, these profiles are indicative only.
Tables C and D show actual expenditure incurred and income received in the first four months of the year for Vote 38 and the Social Insurance Fund, respectively. Full expenditure data for the month of May is not yet available. I do not propose publishing this information on the Department's website.
