Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 9 July 2014
405. Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if she will provide in tabular form the annual saving to the Exchequer from a reduction of 5%, 7%, 10%, 12%, 15%, 17% and 20%, respectively, in the cost of travel and expenses in her Department. [30130/14]
View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that the effect of applying notional percentage reductions based on the Department's travel and expenses budget for 2014 would be as set out in the following table. However, the nature of this expense is that it is driven by the varied work undertaken by my Department and consequently it is not possible to accurately predict the outturn. Any forecast savings are at best a paper exercise.
