Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 2 November 2011
239 Deputy Timmy Dooley asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht 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. [32279/11]
View answerOn 27 October 2011, my Department's gross expenditure totalled approximately €198 million. The Deputy will appreciate that these figures are provisional and subject to verification internally through my Department's financial management systems and, ultimately, by the Comptroller and Auditor General. The spend to 27 October 2011 represents 73% of the REV allocation of €269.089 million. I am confident that the remaining €71 million in voted funding will be expended before the end of the year.
