Mr. Derrig

I move:—

Go ndeontar suim ná raghaidh thar £15,870 chun slánuithe na suime is gá chun íoctha an Mhuirir a thiocfaidh chun bheith iníoctha i rith na bliana dar críoch an 31adh lá de Mhárta, 1938, chun Tuarastail agus Costaisí Coimisiún na Stát-Sheirbhíse (Uimh. 5 de 1924, agus Uimh. 41 de 1926) agus an Choimisiúin um Cheapacháin Aitiúla (Uimh. 39 de 1926).

That a sum not exceeding £15,870 be granted to complete the sum necessary to defray the Charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending on the 31st day of March, 1938, for the Salaries and Expenses of the Civil Service Commission (Nos. 5 of 1924 and 41 of 1926) and of the Local Appointments Commission (No. 39 of 1926).

Mr. Flinn

The provision of £23,870 for 1937-38 shows an increase of £2,131 over the figure for last year. As Deputies are aware, this Vote is required to cover the expenses of the Civil Service Commission and of the Local Appointments Commission. The functions of these two commissions are to supervise the examination of and selection of staff for the Civil Service and certain other classes of situations under local authorities. The increased provision this year is mainly due to the higher cost-of-living figure in the calculation of bonus, and to the continued growth in the number of candidates dealt with by both commissions.

Vote put and agreed to.
