01 / WHAT THE GRANT COVERS

The financial authority behind Vote 1.

Staff and running costs of the President's Establishment and specified grants.

Approved net Exchequer supply grant

€6.198m

This amount represents the net funding authorised in the Dáil's Revised Estimates resolution for Vote 1 for the year ending 31 December 2026. It is a ceiling on supply from the Exchequer, rather than a record of payments to final recipients.

Vote 1 is associated here with the Additional departments spending sector as a navigation aid. Departmental Votes and user-facing sectors do not necessarily have identical accounting boundaries.

02 / READ THE RIGHT NUMBER

Why the figure may differ from the sector total.

The spending atlas is based on gross public expenditure. The amount above is a net voted Exchequer supply grant. They describe different things and cannot be interchanged.

This Vote: €6.198m

The 2026 Dáil-approved net supply-grant ceiling for this specified department or agency, under the 25 March resolution.

Sector: €25.1bn

The rounded additional departments sector gross expenditure estimate in the separate official sector dataset. It is not an amount paid from this Vote alone.

Current and capital

Operational costs and longer-lived investment can both be included in voted expenditure. This resolution provides the net grant, not an itemised, reconciled current/capital subhead table for this individual Vote.

Social insurance and non-voted items

Government expenditure can include spending from the Social Insurance Fund, the National Training Fund and direct Central Fund charges. Their treatment differs from ordinary annual Vote supply grants.

04 / SEE PROGRAMME-LEVEL REPORTING

What do more granular allocations tell us?

Our programme register identifies independently sourced 2026 funding announcements in related service areas. These figures are not automatically formal subheads of Vote 1, and may overlap with one another.

No programme figure has been linked directly to this Vote at the same accounting scope. It would be misleading to infer one from the sector total.

05 / CHECK THE DOCUMENT

The source supplies net grants and may separately authorise the application of unused capital appropriation. It does not establish all final outturns, all Vote subheads or a department-wide reconciled allocation hierarchy. See the Vote register's gross-versus-net explanation.
