Ceist:48 Mr. S. Ryan asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food the way in which the spending incurred by his Department to date in 2002 compares with the amounts allocated in the Book of Estimates; if he expects his Department to meet expenditure targets; if he anticipates cutbacks or adjustments in his Department; if so, the areas in which these will be made; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
