Deputies are aware our Standing Orders provide that the Estimates shall be disposed of, and the necessary legislation, that is, the Appropriation Bill, passed into law before the 1st August. The usual course is to provide by means of a Vote on Account for the expenses of the various departments up to the 1st August. Roughly, the amount works out at one-third of the total Supply Votes. In the case of some of the departments, much less than one-third will be required before the 1st of August, and in other cases a good deal more may be required, but the amount set out in the Vote on Account is the amount that will enable the various departments to carry on until the 1st of August. In case the main Votes are not passed before that time the sums provided by way of a Vote on Account cannot be used for the initiation of any new services. If a department has some provision in its Estimates this year for work it has not hitherto been doing, it cannot start that work until the main Estimate is passed. It cannot use any money it gets by way of Vote on Account to do some work which the Dáil has not pronounced on either by the passing of a Supplementary Estimate, before the end of the financial year, or by way of a sub-head in the main Estimate of last year. I think I need say no more at this stage on that matter. Perhaps I might appeal to Deputies to avoid questions of detail, for a Minister can hardly answer a matter of detail unless he has been given notice. That is desirable even when the main Estimates are under consideration, and it is even more so when we are dealing with a Vote on Account, and when any one of the matters that are comprised in the main Estimates might be made the subject of discussion. I think, if Deputies would agree, it would facilitate business if the general matters were discussed on the Vote on Account, and we can arrange with Deputies on the other side of the House that any Estimates in which they are particularly interested may be taken early so that there may be the fullest opportunity for discussion.
