Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 20 October 2016
295. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation if she will provide a breakdown between current and capital expenditure allocated for all State agencies and bodies under her aegis in 2016 and 2017, including LEO offices, SFI, InterTradeIreland, IDA and EI, in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [31281/16]
View answerA total of €858.5 million gross has been provided for use by my Department next year as per the 2017 Expenditure Report which was published on 11 October 2016. This compares to a provision of €800.47 million in the 2016 Revised Estimates Volume.
The 2017 Expenditure Report sets out the Capital expenditure allocation for my Department next year at €555 million. This compares to €503 million as provided for in the 2016 Revised Estimates Volume. The Current expenditure allocation for 2017 envisaged is €304 million. This compares to €297.4 million in 2016. The Current funding covers Pay, Pensions and Non-Pay across the Department, its Offices and Agencies.
The distribution of all Capital and Current funding for next year across the 39 subheads of my Department’s Vote will be finalised during the 2017 Revised Estimates Volume (REV) exercise in the weeks ahead. This is an extensive process which will be undertaken by my officials in conjunction with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. The 2017 REV is expected to be concluded during November. Therefore it is not yet possible to provide the specific breakdown and comparison of 2017 related funding across my Department, Offices and its Agencies with the 2016 allocations.
