As set out in the Revised Estimates for Public Services 2021, Budgetary Estimates are broken down by Vote, Programme and Subhead level and include Estimates for expenditure for Departments and relevant agencies under the remit of various departments. Furthermore, detailed expenditure information on select non-commercial state agencies is included as an appendix in the REV.

The Voted Public Expenditure Databank is a publicly available dataset maintained by my Department which provides detailed information on voted public expenditure. Allocations for votes 1-45 for 2021, as per the Expenditure Report 2021, can be accessed online via the PER Databank website.

Databank users can generate report tables for all votes for each programme and subhead, showing the total voted expenditure and the breakdown to current and capital. These tables can be exported in Word, Excel or PDF formats as required.

Figures in the Databank are updated at intervals over the course of the year, with Budget allocations updated for those in the Revised Estimates for Public Services Volume and, when available, Provisional Outturn figures before finalised Appropriation Account figures.

As such, for 2021, the recently agreed Further Revised Estimates for the Departments of Enterprise, Trade and Employment; Social Protection; and Rural and Community Development are not reflected in the Databank figure as of yet. These Estimates were agreed by Government to provide additional funding for these Departments in response to Covid-19 and were presented to the Dáil on May 5^th. Electronic copies of the Estimates are available online via the Department of Public Expenditure & Reform website.
