The 2009 Revised Estimates for Public Services was published by the Department of Finance on 23 April 2009. The total allocation to my Department in the Revised Estimates is €1.938 billion gross, made up of €1.557 billion in Exchequer funding and €381 million from the National Training Fund. A further €18.3 million is available to my Department from the carry over of unspent capital allocations in 2008.

The allocation will be used to provide targeted support in key programme areas to address the current economic climate and to ensure that Ireland is well positioned to take advantage of future upturns in the global economy.

Full details of my objectives for the use of my Department's 2009 allocation will be presented shortly to the Select Committee on Enterprise, Trade and Employment in my Department's Annual Output Statement.
