I move:—
That a sum not exceeding £1,223,440 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, 1956, for the Salaries and Expenses of the Office of the Revenue Commissioners, including certain other Services administered by that Office.
The net Vote Estimate for 1955-56 shows a decrease of £12,610 as compared with the Estimate for 1954-55. This decrease is mainly due to the decrease in the provision under sub-head G and to an increase in the estimated receipts under sub-head S.
The decrease under sub-head G is in respect of expenditure for plant and machinery in the staffing branch for which it was necessary to provide less this year.
