Administrative
History/Biography

Past
responsibilities of the Department of Finance have included fiscal, budgetary
and economic policy; taxation (from 1923); the preparation and auditing of
the national accounts and the annual budget, the collection of revenue and
expenditure by government agencies, exchequer accounts and payrolls; the
management of the Civil Service including recruitment, staffing,
establishment, promotion, remuneration and conditions, pensions, conciliation
and arbitration; the preparation and examination of Bills; economic
forecasting, planning and development (from 1959); European Union policy
co-ordination and the European Union budget and funds. It was allocated
responsibility in January and April 1922 for the control of a wide number of
agencies taken over from the previous administration and is currently directly
responsible for overseeing the administration of the Revenue Commissioners,
the Office of Public Works, the Civil Service Commission, the Valuation
Office, the Ordnance Survey, the State Laboratory and the Office of the
Ombudsman and Information Commissioner. The initial official designation of
the Department under the Provisional Government (1922) was ´Finance and
General´, but the title never seems to have been used. Before April 1922, the
non-official titles employed were ‘Treasury’ or ‘Ministry of Finance’ [or
Aireacht Airgid in Irish]. From 1 April 1922 by order of the Executive
Council [the Cabinet], its official title became the ‘Ministry of Finance’.
The term ´Treasury´ persisted less formally, and references to ´Finance
Department´ also occur in Executive Council minutes. Official titles of
offices were not formally settled until the Ministers and Secretaries Act
1924, when the title the Department of Finance [or An Roinn Airgid in Irish]
was established. The Department can also trace part of its provenance to the
Dáil Éireann Department of Finance.
