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 December 1977 expenditure in excess of the amount voted by the Oireachtas was incurred under the Vote hereinafter mentioned.

STATEMENT OF EXCESS

A statement of the sum required to be voted in order to make good an excess on the vote 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)
162	46	Army Pensions	£22,589	£154	£22,435

The sanction of the Oireachtas will be required for the sum set out in column (6). The excess arose because of overexpenditure of £55,342 on pensions, gratuities etc. for former members of the Permanent Defence Force and was due to the difficulty of forecasting commitments in respect of personnel who retire voluntarily before reaching the age limits or who die in service.

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