*Revised Estimates Volume 2021 published Dec 2020
The totals included account for both Capital and Current funding expended/allocated to the agencies, however they do not include any funding that may have been provided by way of Capital Carryover.
The unprecedented increase in my Department's allocation in 2020 was in order to actively respond to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on our enterprise base.
Since the publication of the 2021 Estimate, Government agreed to provide further additional funding to my Department to assist in the ongoing response to Covid and Brexit. This Revised Estimate is due to be presented to the Members Oireachtas Committee for ETE for approval shortly.
