I propose to take Questions Nos. 117 and 119 together.

Projected net current expenditure on my Department's Vote of €3,719 million to the end of June 2014 is running €7 million or 0.2% behind the profiled expenditure position of €3,726 million.

The full extent of the Department's end-2014 expenditure position will only become apparent in the final quarter of the year, after the schools have re-opened and the full impact of Budget 2014 decisions, as well as the number of teacher retirements, become known.

It is therefore, too early to accurately forecast what the final outturn position on my Department's Vote will be at this stage of the year. In the meantime, the situation is being monitored very closely.
