Amharc ar fhreagraThe 'expenditure receipts and balances' figures included in Table 10 of the Stability Programme Update of 2024 in the main consist of expenditure funded by receipts of the Social Insurance Fund (SIF) and the National Training Fund (NTF) and general receipts (appropriations in aid) from Government Departments and Offices. The latter can be from Departments or Offices that generate income such as the Office of Public Works visitor centres, the Passport Office, Broadcast Licence Fees, Departments with receipt of certain European Funding such as in the Department of Agriculture or recovery of the cost of Health Services under EU regulations.
It also includes the deductions from public service workers for the Pension Related Deduction and certain superannuation contributions.
A breakdown of the figures that appear in the table for the 2024 to 2027 period is below. The SIF is modelled by the Department of Social Protection and on a technical basis the NTF and 'other' receipts are held constant from 2024 onwards.
