Estimates for Public Services 2025
Dail Éireann — 2025-11-25
============================================================

Mary Butler (FF), Waterford

I must also stress that when finalising the 2025 Revised Estimate for the Department of the Taoiseach, the Department of Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation agreed that any additional third party cost falling due in 2025 would be funded by way of a Supplementary Estimate. It is important to note that the Department of the Taoiseach is otherwise within budget for 2025 and has managed to identify savings of €850,000 within its Vote to offset some of the additional third party costs that have arisen in 2025. My preference was to attend at committee, not to be here on the floor of the Dáil, to set out the case for the Supplementary Estimates for Votes 2 and 6, and I had set time aside last Thursday.
