1. Government forecasts for 2011 are taken from the Government white paper on estimates for 2011.

2. Total Expenditure includes current & capital spending. 

3. The difference between current revenue & total revenue is accounted for by the income the Government receives from items such as the National Lottery, dividends from semi-State companies, royalties, fines, etc.  

4. The Irish budget is now published in December of every year with revenue & expenditure figures covering the period just gone. Therefore, 2010 figures represent income and expenditure until December 2010. Government forecasts for 2011 cover the period until December 2011.
