Following the decision in relation to re-organisation of Government Departments, the composition of a number of Departments has changed particularly with the establishment of the Department of Rural and Community Development.

The Estimates for 2017, published in the Revised Estimates Volume 2017, were voted on by Dáil Éireann in May 2017.  Further Revised Estimates are to be presented to Dáil Éireann that will reflect the impact on Departmental allocations of the transfer of functions.

Work in relation to finalising the exact allocations to be transferred between Departments is to be finalised in the coming days with the Estimates expected to be presented to the Dáil shortly thereafter.
