01 / WHAT THE GRANT COVERS

The financial authority behind Vote 30.

Agricultural, food and marine programmes, departmental services, grants and subsidies.

Approved net Exchequer supply grant

€1.818bn

This amount represents the net funding authorised in the Dáil's Revised Estimates resolution for Vote 30 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 30 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.

VERIFIED 2026 ACCOUNTING DETAIL

Explore the actual Agriculture expenditure subheads.

Vote 30 now includes all four gross programme totals and 34 individually coded expenditure subheads for programmes A, B and C, including ACRES, Teagasc, Bord Bia and bovine TB control. Every row reconciles to its official 2026 programme total.

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: €1.818bn

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.
