Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 December 2012
678. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport in respect of the October Exchequer returns, the reason capital spending for his Department was €23 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. [53837/12]
View answerThe Supplementary Estimate for my Department, which was approved by the Dáil last week, allowed for the reallocation of €30.8 million in capital expenditure savings to current expenditure. The remainder of the capital allocation for 2012 will be spent by year-end. This reallocation was to provide for the additional funding announced in July for the CIE companies to ensure the continued delivery of public transport services.
