Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 19 July 2012
41 Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if he will provide a list of all current time-related savings-delayed spending of budget 2012 allocations on staff and or resources in his Department. [36717/12]
View answerExcluding the exceptional costs associated with Ireland's Chairmanship-in-Office of the OSCE and preparations for our Presidency of the EU, the resources available to my Department for staff and other administrative costs are €3.175 million less than the corresponding allocation for 2011. While not all spending is evenly spread over the year, I anticipate at this stage that administrative outgoings will be in line with the annual budget provision.
