Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 November 2012
424. Deputy Billy Kelleher asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if he will provide in tabular form the amount currently being spent on, or budgeted for, by State agencies under his remit for spending on the areas of communications, public relations, consultancy, advertising and human resources; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [49646/12]
View answerThe Deputy will appreciate that the matter of budgeted and actual expenditure by the bodies funded from my Department’s Vote group in the areas referred to in the Deputy’s question are part of the day-to-day operational responsibilities of the bodies in question.
Details of the expenditure allocations made available to the bodies in question are published each year in the annual Revised Estimates Volume (REV) and the Appropriation Account. The REV also includes Agency Statements, which provide details in relation to expenditure on administration and pay in the previous year. These publications are available on the website of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform at www.per.gov.ie and on the website of the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General at www.audgen.gov.ie. For ease of reference, Departmental allocations at subhead level are available at the following link http://per.gov.ie/estpubexp2012.
