My Department will, in the coming months, be collecting the data on receipts for 2023, and this information will be published before the end of the year.
My Department does not forecast EU Budget receipts due to the inherent difficulties in doing so, as receipts are contingent on a number of factors such as Departmental drawdown capability and project implementation. That said, my Department anticipates that Ireland’s receipts for the remainder of the Multiannual Financial Framework (2021-2027) will be in the range of approximately €2 - 2.5 billion each year.
