2. Deputy Ged Nash asked the Taoiseach to confirm both in percentage and in clear monetary terms the value of the ‘levy’ on his Department's expenditure, that was required to be communicated to the Department of Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation on or before the deadline of 17 July 2026, (details supplied). [60665/26]

The Department of the Taoiseach confirmed to the Department of Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation (on 17 July 2026) that it would apply a levy of €550,000 to the Department's Vote (Vote 2) in 2027. When the once-off funding allocations for the EU Presidency and the 27th Biweekly Pay date are removed, this represents 1.5% of the gross estimate provision for Vote 2 for 2026.
