Questions (468)

Eoghan Kenny

Question:

468. Deputy Eoghan Kenny asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Finance the basis on which the current levy arising from public expenditure overruns is being calculated and applied to his Department’s Vote; whether any categories of expenditure, including pay, pensions or staffing-related costs, are exempt from the levy within his Department; and if he will provide a breakdown of the areas against which the levy is being applied. [35080/26]

Written answers

Tánaiste and Minister for Finance

I wish to inform the Deputy that my Department is aware of the levy which will be applied to the 2027 Estimates. While the calculation of the levy and its application across Departments is a matter for the Department of Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation, we expect to engage with that Department on its application to the Department of Finance Vote as part of the 2027 Estimates discussions later this year.
