The table below shows gross current expenditure for the years 1997 to 2009, both Voted and non-Voted. Voted current expenditure is divided by Department based on the current allocation of Ministerial responsibilities. Non-Voted expenditure is predominantly made up of the servicing costs of the National Debt and contributions to the EU budget.

The gross Voted expenditure figures between 1997 and 2007 are taken from the Appropriation Account for the relevant years, while non-Voted current expenditure is derived from the appropriate Finance Accounts for the relevant years. GDP and GNI figures for these years are taken from the National Income and Expenditure Account, published by the Central Statistics Office (CSO).

The gross Voted expenditure breakdown figures for 2008 are provisional outturns, while the 2009 figures are expenditure Estimates. These figures were published in the Revised Estimates Volume 2009 on 23 April 2009.

The non-Voted current expenditure figure is as published in the end 2008 Exchequer Statement, while the 2008 GDP figures are from the Quarterly National Accounts for the fourth quarter, published by the CSO. Both the non-Voted current expenditure and the GDP figures for 2009 are those published in the April Supplementary Budget.

The GNI figures for 2008 and 2009 were published in the European Commission's latest forecasts.
