48 Mr. B. O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Finance the proposals, if any, he has to revise and update the vote classification of the supply services. [3419/97]
The vote classification of expenditure on supply services, as published in the annual Book of Estimates, reflects the ministerial-departmental allocation of functions and responsibilities at the time. The vote or supply estimates are the basis of the statutory authority for the appropriation of money to meet most expenditure by Government Departments and certain related bodies.
