The Department expects a full spend of the 2017 voted budget allocation and a surplus/unallocated amount at the year end is not anticipated. The 2017 budget programme expenditure is as follows:
| 2017 Programme Expenditure | €000 |
|---|---|
| To serve our people at home and abroad and to promote reconciliation and co-operation, (Our People). | 79,044 |
| Protect and advance our values and interests in Europe, (Our place in Europe). | 23,279 |
| Work for a more just, secure and sustainable world, (Our values). | 55,779 |
| Promote our economic interests internationally, (Our prosperity). | 32,211 |
| Strengthen our capacity to deliver our goals, (Our influence). | 39,260 |
| Work on poverty and hunger reduction. | 486,614 |
| Total 2017 Programme Expenditure | 716,187 |
None of the Department’s current programmes are due to cease in 2017. At present the Department is not aware of any specific changes in demand for services and goods or changes to costs within the Departments expenditure profile in 2018, however the continuing increase in passport applications and general increase in demand for the Department’s services will put pressure on the 2018 profile.
