Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 2 November 2011
136 Deputy Timmy Dooley asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation the amount of money yet to be spent under his Department’s 2011 budget allocation before the end of 2011; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32288/11]
View answerThe net Exchequer provision for my Department for 2011 is €844.840 million. This sum comprises €336.9 million in Current expenditure and €507.9 million in Capital expenditure and takes into account a targeted saving of €14.6 million on Programme Payroll and non-pay administrative savings for 2011 agreed in the context of the development of the National Recovery Plan.
This allocation is broadly spent across 6 key Programme Areas. Net expenditure across these Programmes to the end of September amounted to approximately €490 million.
Significant spend is profiled for the last quarter of the year. However, my Department will closely monitor spending under all expenditure lines with a view to returning savings made to the Exchequer.
