Grants-in-aid are a form of exchequer assistance to agencies or for the provision of services by agencies and are detailed in the Revised Estimates for Public Services ("the REV") published each year. This would be available in the Oireachtas Library or on the Department of Finance web-site. The Grants-in Aid appear as individual sub-heads of the Department's vote. The Department of Education and Science vote, in both 2008 and 2007, contained the same ten Grant-in-aid subheads, mainly for Youth services and on the third level side. Any unexpended balance of the grant-in-aid sums issued from the Vote are not liable to be surrendered to the Exchequer at year end, whereas other unexpended voted grants are normally liable to be surrendered. My officials would be happy to provide additional information to the Deputy if required.
