Committee Chairman David Stanton, TD, said: “Tomorrow’s meeting should reflect efforts being made to strengthen the role of Dáil Éireann and its Select Committees in holding Ministers and their Departments to account for the proposed allocation of public funds. Minister Shatter’s presence at tomorrow’s meeting allows the Committee to consider the 2013 Revised Estimates for Public Services for his Department, along with the outcomes and effectiveness of the expenditure concerned. These estimates outline the overall proposed expenditure by the Department and give information on the sectors in which the money will be spent.”
