Appropriation Bill 2016

Public bill · Government · Presented

Approves the State’s spending for 2016 by giving legal backing to the amounts already voted by the Dáil for public services, and confirms the related income that counts against those spending totals. It also allows some capital spending to be carried over into 2017 instead of being lost at year-end. Finally, it creates a short-term cash bridge from the Central Fund so the Government can meet certain payments due in early January 2017, including some social welfare payments handled through An Post, before the money is paid back later that month.
