INTERIM REPORT

The Committee has made progress in the matters referred to it and has agreed to the following interim Report:—

The Committee reports that during the year ended 31st March, 1965 expenditure in excess of the amount voted by the Oireachtas was incurred under each of the Votes hereinafter mentioned.

STATEMENT OF EXCESS.

A statement of the sums required to be voted in order to make good an excess on each of the Votes indicated.

Page of Appropriation Account	Number of Vote	Title	Excess of Expenditure over Gross Estimate	Surplus of Appropriations in Aid	Amount to be Voted
(1)	(2)	(3)	(4)	(5)	(6)
			£		£
2	1	President’s Establishment	675	—	675
3	2	Houses of the Oireachtas	56,864	—	56,864
5	3	Department of the Taoiseach	144	—	144
9	6	Office of the Minister for Finance	45,346	1,825	43,521
47	21	Rates on Government Property	19,438	3,729	15,709
83	35	National Gallery	1,515	74	1,441

The sanction of the Oireachtas will be required in respect of each of the sums set out in column (6). The excess expenditure on Votes, 1,2,3,6 and 21 is attributable to the fact that, owing to the dissolution of the Dáil on 18th March, 1965, it was not possible to complete the financial procedures in connection with supplementary estimates for those Votes. The excess expenditure on Vote 35 was mainly due to expenditure arising out of the exhibition held in connection with the centenary of the National Gallery.

The Committee sees no objection to these sums being provided by excess votes.
