The Deputy will find set out in the table below, the total gross budget allocation for my Department (as set out in the Revised Estimates Volume) for each of the years 2014 to 2019 and the numbers of staff working in my Department at the end of each of the years in question.
| YEAR | TOTAL BUDGET* €,000 | Full Time Equivalent Staff** | TOTAL Staff** | Stats |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2014 | 781,022 | 798.0719 | 854 | Staff Stats as of last week in December for each year |
| 2015 | 790,186 | 795.6719 | 848 | Staff Stats as of last week in December for each year |

*Capital and Current Total Revised Estimates Volume allocation
**Figures includes Secretary General and Ministerial Staff, Staff of the Department and its Offices and do not include Staff of its Agencies.
It will be seen that the overall budget ceiling for my Department has increased by 22% between 2014 and 2019 while the total number of staff has increased by 8% (or 9.8% FTEs). The increase reflects the additional demands being placed on my Department and its offices, not least from the challenges arising from Brexit.
