The Government’s voted expenditure allocations and measures for 2016 were presented to Dáil Éireann in the . The table below shows the estimated gross pay bill for my Department’s two votes for 2016 as reflected in the Report.

VoteAllocation
Foreign Affairs and Trade (Vote 28)€78,858,000
International Co-operation (Vote 27)€14,916,000
TOTAL€93,774,000

These allocations take account of the current anticipated expenditure pressures facing the Department in 2016.

My Department, like the Civil Service and public service as a whole, has benefited from the productivity and reform measures provided for under the Haddington Road agreement and previous agreements. These measures will continue to apply under the Lansdowne Road Agreement.
