I propose to take Questions Nos. 361, 362, 363 and 380 together.
Details of Government expenditure, Health expenditure, Social Protection expenditure and Education expenditure in nominal terms and expressed as a percentage of tax revenue and on a per capita basis from 1992 to 2012 are detailed in the table below.
The Deputy might be interested to know that my Department hosts a databank website which contains a comprehensive set of data on public expenditure in Ireland. The material can be accessed through the following web address; http://databank.per.gov.ie/. Similarly, the Department of Finance hosts a comparable website with details of Exchequer Tax receipts and can be accessed at http://databank.finance.gov.ie/. In addition, the Central Statistics Office holds a wide variety of statistical data on their website http://www.cso.ie/en/

1. 'Total Government Expenditure' is the sum of central fund services, gross voted current expenditure and current expenditure from the social insurance fund and the national training fund as well as voted capital spending plus non-voted capital issues.
2. Non-Voted expenditure is expenditure paid directly from the Central Fund, predominantly for debt servicing costs and payments to the EU budget.
3. Gross voted expenditure is the current and capital expenditure of Government Departments, including both the expenditure financed through the Exchequer and that financed by appropriations-in-aid. It includes expenditure from the Social Insurance Fund and the National Training Fund. These figures are consistent with Table 1 from the Budgetary and Economic Statistics publication. Note that the figure for 2012 is taken from the end-December Exchequer Returns.
4. The figures for Social Protection, Health and Education are the Gross expenditure figures for each of the years 1992 - 2012. Social Protection includes payments made from the Social Insurance Fund. Education includes payments made from the National Training Fund and for consistency Health includes figures for the Department of Children and Youth Affairs.
All the above data is available from the department of Public Expenditure & Reform's databank website http://databank.per.gov.ie/.
5. The population statistics are available from the CSO website at www.CSO.ie
