Following a Government decision last April, my Department has carried out a Comprehensive Expenditure Review of its current and capital expenditure to identify possible savings for the years 2012 - 2014. I have recently reported back to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform on expenditure proposals for the three year period.

It is a matter for the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, in the first instance, to consider these proposals. The detailed estimates that are finally settled will be set out in Budget 2012.
