The estimated amounts that the Department of the Taoiseach will pay to Telecom Éireann and An Post during 1987 for services rendered are £135,000 and £47,000 respectively. The 1986 outturn of expenditure to Telecom Éireann and An Post amounted to £125,000 and £47,000. Every effort will be made to achieve savings in these areas of expenditure where feasible.
Maidir le Roinn na Gaeltachta, meastar go n-íocfar £12,000 leis an bPost agus £37,000 le Telecom Éireann i 1987 i leith seirbhísí dá gcuid. Íocadh £12,000 agus £35,000 leo faoi seach i 1986. Tá monatóireacht chúramach á déanamh ag an Roinn ar na costais sin ach is ar éigean a bheidh sábháil ar an Meastachán.
