Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 16 October 2025
255. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the abridged estimates volume for Budget 2026 for Vote 34 including the provisional sub head and programme level allocations. [56323/25]
View answerThe documents referred to in the question are prepared and published by the Department of Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation.
It should be noted that the Abridged Estimates for Public Services (AEV) are published as part of the Budget 2026 Expenditure Report with allocations at programme level. As such the subhead allocations are draft only and may be subject to change.
The Revised Estimates Volume for Public Services (REV) will be published by the Minister of Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation later this year. The REV provides considerably more detail than the AEV including complete subhead-level allocations and performance metrics. The REV also forms the basis for parliamentary scrutiny of allocated expenditure.
The finalised subhead allocations will be provided at that point.
