The Department was in receipt of provision of €251.5 million in 2013. In Mr. Hamill's opening remarks, he referred to considerable pressure on human and financial resources, and that the Department had seen funding across the programme areas reduced by 50% since 2008. That has improved somewhat in the current budget across a number of areas. Last year, there was a surplus of €1.5 million so the Department managed to return some money to the Exchequer.
