Ireland’s projected contribution to the EU Budget in 2023 is currently forecasted to be €3.750 billion. Ireland’s contribution to the EU Budget in 2022 was €3.557 billion.

Data on Ireland’s EU Budget receipts are published annually, for the previous year, in my Department’s Budgetary Statistics in the second half of each year – exact 2022 receipts data will be published in autumn or winter of 2023. That said, my Department currently estimates that our receipts from the 2021-2027 Multiannual Financial Framework will be in the region of approximately €2-2.5 billion each year. The Deputy will appreciate that such figures remain forecasts and are contingent on a number of factors.
