The RSA has the capacity to generate income from fees. As fee income has increased in recent years, there has been a corresponding reduction in funding from the Exchequer.
The annual accounts for the RSA are laid before the Oireachtas after they have been approved by Government and will provide more details on the RSA's expenditure in each of the above years. The accounts are available from the Oireachtas Library.
