My Department's 2016 gross current expenditure allocation of €8,162 million includes €43 million in respect of costs associated with implementation of the Lansdowne Road Agreement. In addition, there will be reduced Appropriations-in-Aid receipts from the Pension Related Deduction in 2016 of the order of €70 million, also in respect of the application of provisions of that agreement. My Department's gross allocation also includes approximately €58 million to cover the costs of additional teachers and capitation grants resulting from demographic increases.
