Committee Reports::Interim Report No. 01 - Appropriation Accounts 1991::30 June, 1993::Report

FIRST 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 1991 expenditure in excess of the amount voted by the Oireachtas was incurred under the Vote hereinafter mentioned.


STATEMENT OF EXCESS

Attached is a statement of the sum required to be voted in order to make good an excess on the Vote for the State Laboratory (Vote Account Number 11).


The sanction of the Oireachtas will be required in respect of the sum set out in column (6) of the attached table.


The excess on the Vote arose from a miscalculation of PRSI outgoings resulting in anticipated savings on Subhead A not being achieved. The anticipated savings were intended to be used to partially offset the cost of pay increases and resulted in a smaller draw being made on Vote 44 (Increases in Remuneration and Pensions) than its full entitlement.


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