The total income of the National Training Fund in 2008 was €419.2 million. For 2009 the income is estimated to be €405 million.

A total of €381.5 million has been allocated to training schemes for 2009 and it is expected that all of this will be spent during the year. Under the terms of the National Training Act 2000, any surplus remains in the accounts of the National Training Fund for investment in eligible training activity. The surplus projected for end 2009 in the Revised Estimates Volume was approximately €204.7 million.
