Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 December 2012
544. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the total programme savings excluding administration of his Department and the agencies funded out of the Vote made in Budgets 2012 and 2013; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [56611/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe budget for my Department in 2013 was largely determined by the gross expenditure ceilings that were allocated to all Departments under the Government’s Medium Term Expenditure Framework, 2012 – 2014.
The total budget for 2012 and 2013 are €1,339m and €1,250m respectively and the allocations can be broken down as follows:

My objective is to ensure that savings on the Vote are minimised in both 2012 and 2013.
