The budget allocations from the Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation to Science Foundation Ireland for the years 2007 – 2017 are set out in the following Table:
| Year | Revised Estimates Volume allocation €000 | Plus sanctioned Deferred Surrender (Capital Carryover) €000 | Supplementary Estimate €000 | Total annual allocation €000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2007 | 165,772 | X | X | 165,772 |
| 2008 | 183,643 | 2,226 | X | 185,869 |
| 2009 | 170,524 | 5,500 | X | 176,024 |
| 2010 | 159,833 | X | X | 159,833 |
| 2011 | 175,142 | X | X | 175,142 |
| 2012 | 169,669 | X | X | 169,669 |
| 2013 | 157,300 | 7,000 | X | 162,300 |
| 2014 | 153,840 | 9,000 | X | 162,840 |
| 2015 | 163,230 | X | 5,000 | 168,230 |
| 2016 | 166,662 | X | 27,000 | 193,662 |
| 2017 | 172,631 | X | 172,631 |
Capital carryover may be permitted from one financial year to the next and requires the formal approval of the Minister for Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform each year. As is evidenced from the table above Science Foundation Ireland’s allocations were enhanced in the years 2008, 2009, 2013 and 2014 with the provision of capital carryover amounts from unspent capital monies arising elsewhere on the Department’s Vote.
In 2015 and 2016, additional capital monies were also provided to Science Foundation Ireland through the approved Supplementary Estimates by the Houses of the Oireachtas in those years.
