The Department is responsible for two Votes – Vote 28 (Foreign Affairs and Trade) and Vote 27 (International Cooperation).
Monthly profiles for expenditure are in place in my Department and performance against profile is reported regularly to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and is published as part of the Monthly Exchequer Statement. The Monthly Exchequer Statement for June has been published on the website of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.
