View answerThe information the Deputy requires is contained in the Revised Estimates Volume (REV), which provides details in relation to all voted Government expenditure on both a Programme and Subhead level. Furthermore, the REV sets out key performance information regarding the outputs and impacts of Programme Expenditure. The Deputy might also be interested to know that my Department hosts a databank website which contains a comprehensive set of data on public expenditure in Ireland. The material can be accessed through the following web address; http://databank.per.gov.ie/. Similarly, the Department of Finance hosts a comparable website with details of Exchequer Tax receipts and can be accessed at http://databank.finance.gov.ie/. In addition, the Central Statistics Office holds a wide variety of statistical data on their website http://www.cso.ie/en/.
