asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will indicate each sub-head of each Vote for which he is responsible which is to be increased in the 1981 Estimates by less then 16 per cent and/or the officially expected rate of inflation in 1981; and how economies, if any, are to be made in respect of each such subhead so as to keep within the provision in the subhead.
Written Answers. - Estimates Increases.
73.
The detailed subhead information sought by the Deputy can more appropriately be raised when the Estimates for my Department come before the Dáil.
I should point out that there is no correlation necessarily between the rate of inflation and the provision for any particular subhead in the Estimates as the volume of applications and level of activity on schemes and services do not remain constant from year to year.
