When is it proposed to circulate the Estimate?
Supplementary Estimate, 1959-60—Leave to Introduce.
Leave granted to introduce the following Supplementary Estimate for the service of the year ending on the 31st day of March, 1960, namely:—
Vote No.:—
52 (Aviation and Meteorological Services).—(Minister for Transport and Power).
It will be circulated almost immediately.
The Taoiseach will not take it as inappropriate if I observe that the appearance of Supplementary Estimates, occurring week after week at such an early stage of the year, is a rather alarming feature.
I would not agree. On the contrary, it is desirable that we should put them forward earlier, if necessary.
