Pre-Budget Submission

[Aoife]

I'm involved in a voluntary organisation, and have been given the task of preparing a pre-budget submission.

Has anyone prepared one of these before, what format should they be, who should I present it to and when, should I give copies to the other parties/media etc.?

I have all the facts and figures and arguments prepared. Any help appreciated.

Hi Aoife,

Why not get ahead of the posse and call it a 'pre estimates' submission. It appears this is the stage that the real spending decisions are made.

AAM do a submission each year. You could check out the format there.

Do a google search (ireland) for pre budget submission and you will get among others submissions from 'the AA' , and the construction industry federation, the nursing union etc.



And finally to whom are you going to address the submission?

Good Luck

Go the Department of Finance's website at www.finance.gov.ie and do a site search for "pre-budget submission"

You will find some info here.

Here's the link:

You could also contact the Department.

I'm sure they have a set form and procedure to make a pre-budget submission.
