The excess is due to general increases in salaries and also to bonus and other payments, including arrears, that became payable under a re-organisation scheme for the Land Registry; recourse was not had to the Vote for Remuneration because it was considered that the original estimate would be sufficient. The full position was not revealed until the sub-account of the Land Registry was received after the close of the financial year.


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


VIVION de VALERA,


Chairman.
