Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 November 2013
829. Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he will provide in tabular form the partial year and the full year monetary effect of his Department's budget 2014 reductions to expenditure. [47081/13]
View answerThe further current expenditure reductions for my Departments Vote - Vote 24 Justice and Equality - in 2014 will be almost €15.9 million compared with the allocation in the Revised Estimate volume for 2013.
This amount is made up of payroll related reductions of €3.2 million incorporating the impact of measures in the Haddington Road Agreement and staffing reductions. There are non-payroll reductions of approximately €10.7 million across a range of administrative and other subheads including €5.2 million in relation to the provision for Asylum Seekers Accommodation. There is also a reduction of €2 million in respect of non-recurring costs in 2014 related to Ireland‘s Presidency of the European Union.
There are also smaller technical adjustments to reflect transfer of responsibility for certain services with other Votes.
The full year impact of the measures outlined above is in the region of €19.6 million with a proportion of the reductions already reflected in the Revised Estimates for 2013.
