asked the Minister for Finance if he will state the amount of over-estimation in each vote for each of the years 1956/57, 1957/58 and 1958/59, and the total for each year.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Over-Estimation in Votes.
As the reply is mainly in the form of a tabular statement I propose, with the permission of the Leas-Cheann Comhairle, to have it circulated with the Official Report.
As regards 1956/57 and 1957/58, the information requested by the Deputy is available in the Appropriation Accounts. As regards 1958/59, the accounts for which have not yet been audited, the following is the best information available:
