Full details of budget increases in respect of my Department are set out on page 57 (Reconciliation of 2017 Expenditure Ceiling) of Part II of the Expenditure Report 2017, published by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and available online at .

The increases outlined in the Expenditure Report 2017 are increases over the expenditure ceilings set out in the Mid-Year Expenditure Report 2016 which had been adjusted from the Budget 2016 ceilings to reflect the transfer of functions from my Department to the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment and the Department of Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs.

I currently expect a full spend of my Department’s allocations in 2016.
