In accordance with the revised Budgetary timetable introduced as part of the “two pack”, the Estimates are required to be published prior to the end of 2019. This publication date of the REV allows for consideration of the Estimates by the relevant Dáil Select Committees at an early stage in 2020. The Revised Estimates Volume compares the 2020 Estimates against the 2019 Estimates. The amounts included in respect of the 2019 Estimates include the Supplementary Estimates agreed by the Dáil during the year. The Summary Tables at the front of the Revised Estimates Volume also show some information on estimated 2019 Forecast Outturns. The 2020 Estimates have been supplemented with key performance information regarding Programme outputs and impacts. This allows information about spending estimates to be seen in conjunction with relevant outputs and performance data. Further to this, a number of Departments also include indicators relating to equality objectives. As is usual, there are a number of post Budget technical and policy adjustments included in the REV. Technical and Adjustments Offset by Appropriations in Aid As outlined in Expenditure Report 2020, there are additional timing related cash costs arising in 2020 arising from 53 Social Welfare Payment dates for certain weekly Social Welfare payments and 27 pay periods for certain fortnightly paid staff in the Education and Justice Sectors. The Budget Estimates published in Expenditure Report 2020 included €169 million in relation to these costs. The final amount to be included in the REV is €178 million in relation to these timing related costs, reflecting additional costs of €9m in the Prison Service in 2020 that reverse in 2021. The REV includes additional expenditure amounts funded from the Dormant Accounts Fund that do not impact on overall net voted expenditure. In aggregate, an amount of just over €15m in aggregate is provided at a gross level across the Justice, Defence, Social Protection, Transport and Communications Vote Groups, with this amount offset by appropriations in aid of an equivalent amount. In Budget 2019 it was agreed that surplus funds from the Energy Efficiency National Fund would be used to fund commitments under the Climate Action Fund, in advance of the necessary legislation being enacted to facilitate the use of NORA levies for this purpose as proposed in the National Development Plan. However, the anticipated liabilities have not yet matured in 2019 and so the funds have not transferred into the Vote as originally envisaged. Instead, these liabilities are now expected to arise in 2020. This will result in an increase of €10m in the gross expenditure amount for the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment with this amount matched by an equivalent additional appropriation-in-aid. Other Post Budget Adjustments There are also a number of adjustments to reflect certain changes since Budget day including policy adjustments. The Government has agreed to provide an additional €10m in funding to broadcasting. This funding will come from the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection in respect of free TV Licences. As this funding passes from the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection to the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment, for technical reasons it gives rise to an increase of €20 million at gross level, but €10 million at net expenditure level. Additional funding of €58 million is being provided in the REV to Health. The funding will be used to open additional hospital beds and provide transitional and residential nursing home support scheme spaces. Inclusive in this amount is funding for a package of health and wellbeing supports for former residents of certain institutions and also funding to provide further support for palliative care. There are further increases of €33 million across a number of policy areas. The Department of Children and Youth Affairs has an additional €10 million for the Affordable Childcare Scheme. The National Shared Services Office (NSSO), which had a reduction of just over €3m in its allocation at Budget time, is to receive an additional €9 million to progress the Financial Management Shared Services project. An additional €6.7 million is to be allocated across the Department of Education including for pay and in respect of a technical adjustment to apprenticeship allowances. The Department of Housing is allocated an additional €4 million in respect of Irish Water capital investment. Across a number of Departments there are minor adjustments of €3.5m in aggregate reflecting certain post Budget adjustments including in relation to pay and the establishment of the Construction Sector Centre of Excellence. In aggregate, these adjustments have a net voted expenditure impact of €92 million, with a further €9 million in expenditure being reflected on the National Training Fund and the Social Insurance Fund. This leaves an overall increase in net voted expenditure of €87 million versus the Estimates for 2020 published on Budget day, after taking into account additional receipts and excluding the additional cost of €9 million arising

McElligott, who had been working in the Local Government Board in Dublin for three years, went to the races at Fairyhouse. The day started off well for McElligott as he won ten shillings. Returning to town early, the day took a turn that McElligott could not have expected when he learnt that the Rising had started. Already a committed Republican he joined up and went to the General Post Office (GPO) on Sackville Street. During the course of the battle, much of which he spent on the roof, McElligott was one of three members of the GPO insurgents who volunteered to bring, under a hail of bullets, sacks of food across the street to the Imperial Hotel, where supplies were running low. On another occasion, he was ordered to charge a house from which it was suspected the GPO was being sniped. At the last second the raid was called off, but McElligott did not hear this and arrived alone at the house, where he kicked the door in but found the building empty. 1All views expressed are the author’s own and do not necessarily reflect those of the Minister or the Department of Finance.
