Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform

Information on the allocation of voted expenditure is published each December in the Revised Estimates for Public Services, also known as the REV. This details the funding allocated to each Vote by programme and subhead.

The REV also contains expenditure information on Non-Commercial State Agencies (NCSAs). The Summary Table Exchequer Expenditure of Non Commercial State Agencies printed in the 2023 REV is below. This shows the 2022 and 2023 Estimates.

Further detail on the income and expenditure on NCSAs is in the REV Agency Statements. These show the source of income for each of the agencies included from both Exchequer and other sources. These also have the reported whole-time equivalent public service employee numbers. The full REV publications, for 2022, 2023 and earlier years, are online at www.gov.ie/en/collection/e20037-revised-estimates/.

Individual Departments may be better placed to provide the Deputy with any more detailed information needed on agencies under their aegis.
