I propose to take Questions Nos. 387 to 389, inclusive, together.

The figures for the Voted component of current expenditure, including the Exchequer Pay and Pensions Bill, in the attached tables are presented in net expenditure terms, which is the only full monthly breakdown available. These figures are formally returned to the Department of Finance five working days after the end of the relevant month. It should be noted that they are point in time estimates and may be subject to revision on a full year basis following year-end. The end-September figures are not yet available.

Figures for national debt servicing are taken from the Exchequer Statement for the relevant month. The figures include interest costs, sinking fund contributions and other debt management expenses.

The table presents figures for the pension-related deduction on public service remuneration and the Exchequer balance at the end of each month. The pension-related deduction is presented on a monthly basis.

The pension-related deduction on remuneration is not classed as a tax receipt; it is, for the most part, received by Departments as an appropriation-in-aid. These figures are returned by Departments five working days after the end of the month and, as such, the end-September returns are not yet available. A small component is paid directly to the Central Fund from the National Treasury Management Agency (NTMA), the Central Bank and the Oireachtas. The figures in the attached table include the receipts by Departments and the Central Fund.

Receipts from the pension-related deduction on remuneration from Local Authority employees are not included as they do not accrue to Central Government.
