The sanction of the Oireachtas will be required in respect of the sum set out in column (6). The excess is due to the deficiency in Appropriations in Aid realised. This deficiency arose mainly because payments in respect of outstanding accounts for manufactured goods supplied by the prisons were not received before 31st March, 1969.


The Committee sees no objection to this sum being provided by excess vote.

Chairman.
