Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 November 2008
577 Deputy Lucinda Creighton asked the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food the number of capital projects which have gone over budget in each of the past five years; the original estimate for each of these projects; the final cost of same; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39517/08]
View answerThe bulk of capital expenditure for my Department relates to payments to individual farmers under demand led schemes involving capital expenditure at farm level.
The only instances where capital projects exceeded original estimates were in respect of four fishery harbour projects from the thirty eight undertaken by my Department since May 2007.
In respect of each of these four projects, works additional to those included in the original programme of work were deemed necessary for inclusion. Details are as follows.
