Vol. 136 No. 6

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Estimates of Receipts and Expenditure.

asked the Minister for Finance if the Estimates contained in his Budget statement last April in respect of Exchequer expenditure and receipts for the financial year 1952-53 require to be revised; and, if so, if he will state the revised Estimates.

The answer to the first part of the question is "yes". It is not the practice, however, to publish revised Estimates in the course of a financial year. Particulars of actual Exchequer receipts and issues are given in the Exchequer statements published weekly in Iris Oifigiúil.

Will the Minister say if there is going to be a budgetary surplus or a budgetary deficit?

I would recommend the Deputy to read with some attention the recent statement of the Taoiseach on that matter.

That is one of the reasons I put down the question. I want to know does the Minister for Finance agree with the Taoiseach's Estimate?
