A. If our expenditure is 54 billion per year, and Fas compose 1 billion, how do EI/IDA expenditure match up in our national expenditure? How much of the public sector bill do these type of expenses compose?
B. How does it compare to other EU countries? High or Low?

2. I understand that these fund come from the EU State Aid funds, is that correct? http://www.employmentsubsidy.ie/
I am assuming this means that the money is coming from Brussels rather than Dublin (as opposed to the fund simply being diverted through EU law)

A. So are these funds vulnerable to the impending Public sector cutbacks in the December budget?
Assuming they are implemented from Brussels rather than Dublin, then presumably they cannot be touched?

[Sorry I meant this to go into Irish Econ, not politics]
