Expenditure – Key Points • Significant year-on-year reductions largely reflect expenditure policy changes implemented over the last year • Overall expenditure is 2.1% below profile. This is mainly due to timing issues across a number of departments • Capital spending below profile but is expected to catch up later on • The anticipated end-year position remains in line with 2010 REV allocations
Summary • Tax revenue is 15% down y-on-y - substantial decline anticipated in first half of 2010 • Expenditure is €225 million less than planned – timing issues • At end-March the overall Exchequer position is broadly in line with expectations - targets remain valid
