asked the Minister for Justice the estimated amount his Department will pay to Telecom Éireann and An Post during 1987 for services rendered; if it is possible to make savings in these areas of expenditure; and if he will give the corresponding figures for the 1986 out-turn.
Written Answers. - Telephone and Postal Costs.
92.
The total amounts provided in the Votes for which I am responsible for payment to Telecom Éireann and An Post for 1987 and the out-turn for 1986 are as follows:—
|
1987 Estimate £000's |
1986 Out-turn £000's |
|
|
An Post |
1,820 |
2,836 |
|
Telecom |
4,974 |
5,457 |
It is not possible at this stage of the year to say if there will be any savings in 1987. Every effort is, of course, made to ensure that expenditure in these areas is maintained at the lowest level throughout the year.
