Total Government Expenditure 00-10

plastic-man

Hey, anyone know where I'd get the TOTAL government expenditure figures for the period 2000-2010. I've tried OECD, CSO, Department of Finance Website and nothing yet... OECD only has it in US$, need it in €..

Would have thought this would be easier to find.. Anyone?

you should be able to get the data you need here, look for the expenditure and receipts documents

here is corrected graph from previous thread on subject going back few years

Thanks for your links, very helpful. Quick question, all the expenditure and receipts documents for each year are 'estimates'. Are they the 'estimated total' at the end of the year, or were they forecasts from the previous year?

Thanks,

the figures, seem fairly in line with the table above.. EXCEPT for the 2009 figure where the estimate is 45,520,000 and the actual on the table above is 60. 60 seems more accurate?

they have an estimate for next year and total for previous from what i remember, so you can compare their past estimations with reality, almost in all cases they are on the optimistic side

This piece gives details of gross central government expenditure. Here is the headline figures.



Details are broken down between capital and current expenditure and also between voted and non-voted expenditure. If based on DoF figures these are the numbers (€m)

2000 31,289
2001 36,324
2002 39,501
2003 42,574
2004 45,855
2005 50,550
2006 55,770
2007 62,613
2008 68,264
2009 75,314
2010 69,112
2011 68,139(e)

But these are only central government expenditures. Local government expenditure would add to that again.

Neither does this include any liabilities such as the banks, the Banks and the BANKS :P and the National Liability Management Agency

Thanks for the links to the graphs, but where did you get those exact figures from?

In fact on average every year in the 2000's government expenditure rose 10.25%, that's a doubling every 7 years. Surely the definition of big spending irresponsible government. A "right-wing" government, Irish-style. Thanks Bertie
