Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 September 2018
218. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the expenditure savings that are earmarked for his Department for 2019 that are not accounted for in the mid-year expenditure report or are not included in the fiscal space calculations for 2019. [38490/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Mid-Year Expenditure Report (MYER) set out the starting baseline in relation to the gross voted expenditure for 2019. The technical pre-Budget position for 2019 in respect of current expenditure is the current expenditure allocation for this year set out in the Revised Estimates for 2018 (REV 2018). The figures set out in the MYER do not include expenditure savings targets specifically earmarked for my Department.
The capital provision set out in the MYER is consistent with the allocation for 2019 published in the National Development Plan.
The expenditure requirements for 2019 are being evaluated in the context of the estimates process currently underway and will be published in due course.
