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 Group as part of the 2027 Estimates discussions later this year.
