589. Deputy Dara Calleary asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the latest profiles in value and outruns forecasted in his Department for the end of December 2017 and any variances that may arise based on his Department’s performance against profile in gross voted expenditure at the end of June 2017. [36571/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraThere was a gross underspend in my Department's Vote of €11.1 million at the end of June 2017 relating to a number of areas, including payroll due to the filling of certain posts taking longer than anticipated. Expenditure across the overall Justice Vote Group, consisting of eight Votes, will continue to be carefully monitored and managed for the remainder of the year with the objective of achieving the best value for the taxpayer with any underspends redirected within the Justice sector as needed.
