The administrative and staffing costs of the RIA are funded from subhead D1 of the Department's Vote, which covers a number of different asylum and immigration service divisions. Prior to 2002, the Department of the Environment and Local Government made payments to proprietors for the provision of accommodation and ancillary services. Prior to 2002, RIA pay expenditure was not accounted for separately from the other areas of asylum and immigration. Figures for 2005 are estimated.
