Vol. 165 No. 4

Supplementary Estimates—Leave to Introduce.

I move:—

That leave be given by the Dáil to introduce the following Supplementary Estimates for the service of the year ending on the 31st day of March, 1958, namely:—

Votes No.:—

61 (Social Insurance),

62 (Social Assistance).

Next Wednesday.

Circulation?

What is the amount?

I cannot say offhand. It is £2,200,000 arising out of the increase in social assistance, No. 62.

It arises mostly from the Budget.

Has it nothing to do with the £3,000,000 Supplementary Estimate to which the Parliamentary Secretary referred?

To some extent. The amount will be in the neighbourhood of £3,000,000. That all arises out of the Budget.

How much of this is due to fraud? I only want to get some advance information.

Deputy Corish has a lot of information on that.

Question put and agreed to.
