Go ndeontar suim Bhreise ná raghaidh thar £900 chun íoctha an Mhuirir a thiocfaidh chun bheith iníoctha i rith na bliana dar críoch an 31adh lá de Mhárta, 1936 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 Supplementary sum not exceeding £900 be granted to defray the Charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending 31st March, 1936, 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).
This Vote arises out of the increased entries for the various competitive examinations held during the year by the Civil Service Commissioners. As an example, I may cite the cost of the examinations which were held during the period for clerical officers, junior executive officers, officers of Customs and Excise, post office learners and writing assistants. It was estimated that the total entries for these examinations would be 4,000, while, in fact, the actual entries were over 5,000. It was, of course, inevitable in cases where there had been such an increase in the number of candidates that there should be more or less a corresponding increase in the expenses of the examinations. It is to meet the increase in those expenses that this Supplementary Vote is introduced.
