I propose to take Questions Nos. 332 to 334, inclusive, together.

Vote 25, as published in Revised Estimates for Public Services 2014by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, provides funding for the range of housing, community and other programmes for which my Department is responsible. At this stage, my Department is working towards achieving full expenditure of voted resources this year to provide important public services in these key areas. Any issue relating to carryover of funding into 2015, should it arise, will be a matter for consideration in conjunction with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform in the context of year-end financial management arrangements.
