Committee on Finance. - Vote 1—President's Establishment.

Minister for Lands (Mr. Derrig)

I move:—

Go ndeontar suim ná raghaidh thar £2,658 chun slánuithe na suime is gá chun íoctha an Mhuirir a thiocfaidh chun bheith iníoctha i rith na bliana dar críoch an 31adh lá de Mhárta, 1941, chun Tuarastail agus Costaisí Oifig an Rúnaí don Uachtarán agus Costaisí áirithe eile bhaineann le Teaghlachas an Uachtaráin (Uimh. 24 de 1938).

That a sum not exceeding £2,658 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, 1941, for the Salaries and Expenses of the Office of the Secretary to the President, and for certain other expenses of the President's Establishment (No. 24 of 1938).

Mr. Flinn

There is a small increase in this Estimate this year to cover the increased sum required for salaries, wages and allowances of the staff of the secretary's office, largely due to the increased provision for the cost-of-living bonus, and there has been a slight change over in the staff, but there is no real question of principle arising on the Vote.

Vote put and agreed to.
