236. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Finance the gross and net contribution respectively of Ireland to the European Union per annum for 2020 and 2021, in tabular form. [17508/22]
View answerIreland’s gross contributions to the EU Budget in 2020 and 2021 were as follows:
2020 |
€2.569bn |
2021 |
€3.507bn |
Data on Ireland’s EU Budget receipts for the previous year are published annually, in my Department’s Budgetary Statistics each autumn. In 2020, Ireland received €2.080 billion in EU receipts (including Horizon 2020 receipts), which makes Ireland’s net contribution to the EU Budget in 2020 €489 million.
EU Budget receipt data for 2021 will be published in autumn 2022. Therefore, it is not yet possible to confirm Ireland’s net contribution to the EU Budget for 2021.
