Tánaiste and Minister for Finance

I wish to inform the Deputy that my Department does not, for either 2025 or 2026, administer any schemes, funding programmes, capital funds or grant streams, nor does it operate any expenditure headings that give rise to allocations, awards or spending that can be attributed to any specific geographic location.

The mission of the Department of Finance is to lead in the achievement of the Government’s economic, fiscal and financial policy goals, having regard to the goals set out in the Programme for Government – Securing Ireland’s Future.

The Department of Finance is a predominantly policy-oriented Department with administration costs accounting for approximately 70% of the total annual budget, primarily payroll.

For the avoidance of doubt, I wish to add that Fuel Grant payments under the Disabled Drivers Scheme which is under the remit of my Department can be claimed by all eligible individuals regardless of their location within the State.
