I propose to take Questions Nos. 91 to 94, inclusive, together.

The voted current and capital expenditure outturn figures for the period 2008 to 2013, and estimated expenditure figures for 2014 as published in the Revised Estimates Volume 2014, along with the year-on-year variances are set out in the table below.  Also included in respect of 2014 is the year to date expenditure to the end of August 2014, as reported with the end August Exchequer returns.  The Deputy may be interested to know that my Department publishes a comprehensive set of data on voted expenditure which is available at http://databank.per.gov.ie.
