Written answers

The Deputy may wish to note that Programme E only came into existence in 2020 arising from the transfer of a number of functions from the Department of Justice to my Department in relation to Equality, Integration, Disability and Human Rights which took effect from the 14th October 2020. In addition, provision for new Ukraine related spending on the Vote in 2022 was provided for by way of a Supplementary Estimate for my Department in 2022. A breakdown of the allocations to the various Programme E sub-headings contained in the Budget-day estimates and subsequent REVs allocations along with associated output targets for each of the years 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 has been provided in the tables below;
