Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

The total allocated budget for my Department in the years 2011-2013 is set out in Table 1. Budgets are not formally allocated to periods within calendar years, rather the annual allocation is profiled on a monthly basis for internal financial management purposes. Accordingly the allocation for full year 2014 and the profile for 2014 to end September are also included in the Table 1. Table 2 shows the outturn for each subhead for years 2011, 2012, 2013 and to end September 2014. The outturn information on the Administrative Budget expenditure is shown twice in Table 2: as a stand-alone section and also in the relevant sub-heads for each expenditure Programme. It can be noted that in respect of some of my Department’s schemes a substantial part of the expenditure and receipts normally occur in the final quarter of the year.Table 1 Allocated Budget 2011-2013 and 2014 end September Profiled Expenditure
