The same period last year recorded a surplus
An exchequer deficit of 2.5 billion euro's been recorded to the end of February.
That compares to a surplus of just under 1 billion euro in the same period last year.
The change results from the transfer of 4 billion euro to the National Reserve Fund.
Department of Finance figures show tax receipts are 1.3 billion or 13 per cent ahead of the same period last year.
