The estimates for expenditure for 2014 are still subject to confirmation within my Department. The working estimates for each of the programmes mentioned are set out in the following table. Estimates of likely expenditure on a county basis are not generally provided due to variability in factors affecting work programme. I have however, provided data in respect of the number of placements allocated under each of the Department’s initiatives as of December 2013.
