Appropriations-in-aid are Departmental receipts which, as set out in Public Financial Procedures, need not be paid directly into the Exchequer, but which may be retained to defray the expenses of the Vote to which they refer. The Department of Public Expenditure and Reform databank, , sets out appropriations-in-aid for each Vote broken down into non-pay, pay, pensions, and capital.
In the databank appropriations-in-aid represent the difference between gross and net voted expenditure. The data in the databank is updated to reflect the latest published Estimates structure. Table 1 in the attached document sets out the position with regard to appropriations-in-aid for each of the years 2011 to 2017 on a Vote group basis. The Revised Estimates Volume includes within the gross expenditure amounts for the Employment Affairs and Social Protection Group, and the Education and Skills Group, expenditure respectively of the Social Insurance Fund and the National Training Fund. For consistency, this expenditure is also reflected within the overall appropriations-in-aid figures on the databank and in the table attached. For information, this expenditure is also set out separately in Table 2.
Table 3 sets out the position for 2018, showing the initial allocation made in REV 2018, the end-November outturn and the forecast outturn for the year as notified by Departments and Offices. The forecast outturn includes anticipated additional EU receipts in the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and European Social Fund receipts in the Department of Education and Skills.
