I propose to take Questions Nos. 155 and 157 together.

This Parliamentary Question is more appropriate to the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science (DFHERIS) as his Department is now responsible for publishing the R&D Budget Survey, following a Government decision to transfer certain research and innovation functions from the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment to DFHERIS effective from January 2021.

Details on the Government’s public expenditure on research and development are published each year in the R&D Budget Survey. This publication is compiled from a comprehensive survey of forty-five Government Departments and Agencies. The most recent report was published by DFHERIS in December 2021 and is available at: gov.ie - Research and Development Budget: 2020 to 2021 (www.gov.ie).

The estimated 2022 Government Budget Allocations for R&D (GBARD) supplied in the table below will form part of the 2022 R&D Budget Survey which is due to be published shortly by DFHERIS. The individual details of the programmes are not included, due to their voluminous nature, but will be available to you when the 2022 Survey is published. Figures for 2023 have not yet been complied by DFHERIS.
