Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. Roche)

The 2006 provision for my Department will be used for the purposes intended and managed in accordance with Public Financial Procedures. At this stage in the year I anticipate that the provision should be sufficient to meet demands and that savings, if any, will be relatively small.
