Question 171: To ask the Minister for Finance the cost of the Cabinet reshuffle; the amount it is costing in terms of administration and other expenses; the amount it is costing each Department; the way the allocation of resources and votes will be distributed now due to the changes; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

All transfers of funds between votes will be carried out on an Exchequer-neutral basis in all cases. In addition, the re-allocation of resources will be provided for by way of Amended Estimates or Further Revised Estimates as appropriate. Some administrative costs will arise (for example, stationery costs) and I will be asking the relevant Departments to ensure that these are kept to a minimum. Final figures in respect of these costs are not yet available.
