The expenditure measures announced on 5 December 2012 in the Expenditure Report 2013 were designed to yield a further €0.1 billion from 2014 onwards over and above the continuation of their 2013 impact. The impact in 2014 and subsequent years of these measures was built into the future gross expenditure ceilings set for Departments and also reflected in the estimates at the time the level of further savings measures required for 2014 so as to adhere to the 2014 expenditure ceilings. Details of their ceilings and savings effort requirements are set out in the Report.
The Government will be publishing its Budget and Estimates on 15 October and this will set out the Estimates and measures as decided by Government for 2014 and the expenditure ceilings for the period to 2016.
