The net allocation for my Department for 2011, as set out in the 2011 Revised Estimate, is €8.279 billion. In addition, provision for expenditure of some €362 million has been made under the National Training Fund in 2011. There are no savings or excesses being projected on the estimate at this stage. However, my Department will closely monitor the spending situation over the months ahead with a view to ensuring that Government expenditure is maintained within the limits available.
