Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 31 May 2016
349. Deputy David Cullinane asked the Minister for Education and Skills the estimated full-year saving for 2017 from reducing spending on travel by 10% in his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14125/16]
View answerThe 2016 allocation for Travel and Subsistence for my Department is €2.4 million. This includes provision for domestic and foreign travel and subsistence for administrative staff in the Department, for staff in the Department's Inspectorate and in the National Educational Psychological Service (NEPS). A 10 per cent reduction in spending in 2017, based on the 2016 allocation, would yield a saving of €0.24 million.
