Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 25 November 2010
236 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Innovation the extent of any over or under-expenditure, capital or current, by Vote, heading or subheading to date in 2010 in tabular form; the reason for any surplus or shortfall; if expenditure to date in each case is in line with budgetary projections; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44656/10]
View answerThe DETI gross exchequer allocation for capital and current for 2010 is €1,177.620 million. My department maintains an ongoing overview of expenditure and is currently reviewing the expected outturn for the end of year, to identify any savings or shortfalls. Currently the majority of Vote Subheads are performing close to profile with variances on some current expenditure subheads, due to economies of scale identified, moratorium on filling vacancies, downturn in economic activity and other savings arising. These will be fully quantified closer to year-end. The following table summarises the Department's expenditure to the end of October 2010.
