*Enterprise Ireland is also in receipt of additional Exchequer funding from a number of other Government Departments, namely the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Department of Foreign Affairs, Department of Education and Skills and Department of Communications, Climate Change & Environment
**In addition to Exchequer funding, Enterprise Ireland generates Own Resource Income (ORI) from a range of activities and services. The retention and use of Own Resource Income by Agencies is subject to annual sanction by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. The above figures represent the totals of ORI sanctioned by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform for retention and use by EI in the years in question and does not necessarily represent the actual totals of ORI expended by EI in that period.
My Department’s mission and the focus of expenditure by the Department and its Agencies is essentially to encourage the creation of high quality and sustainable employment by championing enterprise across the regions, to support a competitive enterprise base and to promote fair and competitive markets. Our Agencies, including Enterprise Ireland, play a key role in helping the Department to carry out its mission.
