Question:

439. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Justice and Equality in respect of the October Exchequer returns, the reason the capital spending for his Department was €11 million below profile for this period; his plans to ensure that the full capital spending is implemented before the end of the year; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Justice and Equality

The saving on capital spend referred to by the Deputy, at the end of October, is largely the result of timing issues in relation to capital projects. It is expected that this underspend of €11m at the end of October will substantially reduce by the end of November as many of these timing issues are resolved.
