The Sub-Committee on Public Expenditure and Reform will consider the 2013 revised estimates for public services with Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform Brendan Howlin TD at its meeting tomorrow 23rd April 2013.
The Committee will consider:
Vote 11 (Public Expenditure and Reform);
Vote 12 (Superannuation and Retired Allowances);
Vote 14 (State Laboratory);
Vote 15 (Secret Service);
Vote 16 (Valuation Office);
Vote 17 (Public Appointments Service);
Vote 18 (Shared Services); and
Vote 19 (Office of the Ombudsman)
Minister of State with special responsibility for the Office of Public Works Brian Hayes TD will attend the Sub-Committee meeting for Vote 13 (Office of Public Works).
Sub-Committee Chairman Ciarán Lynch said: “As part of the Programme for Government 2011 and the Dáil reform programme, Committees now have the opportunity to examine Estimates on a whole-of-year basis, and our meeting tomorrow forms part of that initiative. While the Ministers may not be in a position to give precise details on the 2013 estimates for the services their Departments provide, we expect that they will give an outline of the savings to be made in departmental expenditure in 2013 and the impact on services as a result. Members will have a chance to consider the budgetary challenges facing the Minister and to give their views on the form that any adjustments or savings should take.”
This meeting will take place at 1pm on Tuesday, 23rd April 2013 in Committee Room 2 Leinster House.
