I propose to take Questions Nos. 530 to 532, inclusive, together.

Gross voted current and capital profiles were published on an aggregate basis with the end-February Exchequer figures at the beginning of March. Gross current expenditure was profiled at €12,899 million and gross capital expenditure at €437 million giving an overall gross aggregate profile of €13,336 million at end-March 2013. In aggregate terms, gross expenditure is very slightly above profile by €97 million. On the current side, the main reason for this was the timing of certain grant payments which arose in March but were profiled to happen in April.

These profiles were provisional and based on the allocations made to Departments at Budget time. The Revised Estimates Volume (REV) will be published tomorrow, 17th April. Revised profiles for all Ministerial Vote Groups based on the allocations set out in the Revised Estimates Volume will be published later this month.
