Government spending against last year

Summary

Bruton asks whether spending is running £500 million above the same period last year and whether it is on target; the Ceann Comhairle says the question does not concern oil, while Bruton suggests oil could contribute.

Is the Minister aware that Government spending is running at about £500 million so far this year over the figure for the same period last year? Is this on target or above it?
