In relation to estimates of savings arising from the LRC proposals, the Revised Estimates Volume for 2013 is expected to be published very shortly. This document will set out the revised allocations for Votes arising from the proposals made. The Revised Estimates Volume for 2013 will be submitted to the Oireachtas for consideration in due course.

Following the publication of the 2013 Revised Estimates Volume, my Department will be in contact with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform regarding the overall allocations for the period 2014-2016, including the ongoing effect of the LRC proposals and staffing ceilings.
