Budget 2020 will see the overall level of funding for my Department increase from €291 million in 2019 to €308 million in 2020. This will facilitate the continued delivery of key programmes for rural Ireland and communities across the country; and provide an additional €17 million to support priority areas.
The breakdown of the €308m Budget 2020 allocation will fall to be considered in the context of the Revised Estimates 2020 to be published in December by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.
However, at this stage, I expect the allocations to be as detailed in the following table. This, however, remains indicative until publication of the Revised Estimates 2020.
