History

There was a Ministry of Finance in the Ministry of Dáil Éireann of the Irish Republic established on 22 January 1919.[3] It was provided a statutory basis by the Ministers and Secretaries Act 1924, passed soon after the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922. This act provided it with:[4] Шаблон:Quote The Schedule assigned it with the duties of the following bodies:[5]

The Department of Finance has retained its title since its establishment. In 1973, its public service functions were transferred to the new Department of the Public Service.[6] Until 1980, the position of the Minister for the Public Service was required by law to be assigned to the Minister for Finance.[7][8] In 1987, these functions were transferred back to the Department of Finance.[9]

In 1980, the functions of the Department of Economic Planning were transferred to the Department of Finance.[10] These functions are principally to promote and co-ordinate economic and social planning, including sectoral and regional planning, to identify development policies, to review the methods adopted by departments of state to implement such policies and generally to advise the government on economic and social planning matters.

In July 2011, the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform was established, and a considerable number of the functions of the Department of Finance were transferred to that department.[11][12]
