Vol. 44 No. 2

In Committee on Finance. - Vote No. 13—Civil Service Commission.

Minister for Finance (Mr. MacEntee)

I move:—

Go ndeontar suim ná raghaidh thar £4,439 chun slánuithe na suime is gá chun íochta an Mhuirir a thiocfaidh chun bheith iníoctha i rith na bliana dar críoch an 31adh lá de Mhárta, 1933, chun Tuarastail agus Costaisí Coimisiún na Stát-Sheirbhíse (Uimh. 5 de 1924 agus Uimh. 41 de 1926) agus an Choimisiúin um Cheapacháin Aitiúla (Uimh. 39 de 1926).

That a sum not exceeding £4,439 be granted to complete the sum necessary to defray the Charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending on the 31st day of March, 1933, for the Salaries and Expenses of the Civil Service Commission (Nos. 5 of 1924 and 41 of 1926) and of the Local Appointments Commission (No. 39 of 1926).

Mr. Hayes

On this there is just a point which it would be more appropriate to raise on the President's Estimate than here. I take it the Minister and the Chair will agree with that—that is, that the procedure adopted now by the Local Appointments Commission in sending down three names to local bodies, that, I take it, is a change in Government policy for which the Local Appointments Commission is not responsible. I take it the point should be raised on the President's Estimate, and not here.

Mr. MacEntee

If the Deputy would desire it on the President's Estimate, I agree that it might be better to raise it there. I suppose the usual arrangements will be made.

Mr. Hayes

Oh yes. We are giving notice now.

Vote No. 13 agreed.
