Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 1 October 2014
191. Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources the total allocated budget for his Department in 2011, 2012, 2013 and to date in 2014; the actual outturns in each of his Department subheads at the end of 2011, 2012, 2013 and to date in 2014; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37279/14]
View answerThe 2011, 2012 and 2013 Appropriation Accounts for all Votes are now publicly available on the website of the Comptroller and Auditor General. The relevant website addresses for my Department are as follows:
2011 : http://www.audgen.gov.ie/viewdoc.asp?fn=/documents/annualreports/2011/AppAccs/ENG/Vote30.pdf
2012 : http://www.audgen.gov.ie/viewdoc.asp?fn=/documents/annualreports/2012/AppAcs/EN/Vote29.pdf
2013 : http://www.audgen.gov.ie/viewdoc.asp?fn=/documents/annualreports/2013/AppAcc/En/Vote29.pdf
The Deputy will note that final outturn figures for 2014 cannot be confirmed until after the Comptroller & Auditor General has completed his audit of the 2014 accounts. I have set out in the following table the 2014 figures as per the Revised Estimates and the latest available outturn data in my Department's Vote.
