Vol. 177 No. 1

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Voted Capital Services.

30.

asked the Minister for Finance if he will state the main headings under which there was an increase of almost £3,000,000 in the sum issued for voted capital services in the current year as against last year.

As the reply is mainly in the form of a tabular statement I propose, with the permission of the Leas-Cheann Comhairle, to have it circulated with the Official Report.

Following is the reply:

The net increase of £2,851,858 in the sums issued for voted capital services in the first half of the current financial year as compared with corresponding issues last year took place under the following main headings:
