2014 Capital Allocation
The Exchequer DJEI capital allocation for 2014 is €442m, which it is expected, together with both capital carryover and reinvestment of income generated by agencies, will maintain IDA, SFI, EI and CEB allocations broadly in line with 2013 expenditure. The issue of Capital Carryover will be decided in the context of the Revised Estimates Volume that will be conducted during November and early December. Individual Agency allocations will be agreed when final capital carryover amounts have been confirmed.
2014 Current Allocation
The Department's current expenditure ceiling for 2014 has been set by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform at €339m. This includes the total Pay, Pensions and Non-Pay expenditure provisions for the Department, its offices and its agencies for next year. The distribution of this current expenditure provision will also be decided as part of the Revised Estimates process during November and early December.
