The 2008 spending plans were set out in detail in the Revised Estimates for Public Services 2008 which were published on 21 February 2008. I have no proposals to amend these plans.

Total proposed gross expenditure for the year amounts to just under €62 billion made up of approximately €53 billion current expenditure and €9 billion capital expenditure. These are the totals set out for the year and these are the spending allocations with which all Government Departments and Agencies must comply.
