Go ndeontar suim Bhreise ná raghaidh thar £10 chun íoctha aá Mhuirir a thiocfaidh chun bheith iníoctha i rith ná bliana dar críoch an 31adh lá de Mhárta, 1937, chun Tuarastail agus Costaisí Oifig an Aire Puist agus Telegrafa (45 & 46 Vict., c. 74; 8 Edw. 7, c. 48; 1 & 2 Geo. V, c. 26; na hAchtanna Telegrafa, 1863 go 1928, etc.); agus Seirbhísí áirithe eile atá fé riaradh na hOifige sin.
That a Supplementary sum not exceeding £10 be granted to defray the Charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending 31st March, 1937, for the Salaries and Expenses of the Office of the Minister for Posts and Telegraphs (45 and 46 Vict., c. 74; 8 Edw. 7, c. 48; 1 & 2 Geo. V, c. 26; The Telegraph Acts, 1863 to 1928, etc.), and of certain other Services administered by that Office.
The anticipated excess on the expenditure subhead of the Vote amounts to £17,280, due chiefly to increased provision for the development of the telephone service, civil aviation and meteorological wireless services and superannuation charges. Against this, there will be an estimated increase of £17,270 in the appropriations-in-aid, mainly because of extra receipts for pensions liability in respect of the savings bank staff. The consent of the Dáil is, however, necessary to offset one against the other, and consequently a supplementary estimate for what is really a token vote of £10 is required.
