Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 January 2013
300. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the top five projects to benefit from capital expenditure in December 2012, ranked according to the capital spend reported across all Departments for December 2012 [2778/13]
View answerMy Department is responsible for setting the overall capital allocations across Departments and for monitoring monthly capital expenditure at departmental level. Information in relation to expenditure at project level is not collected by my Department.
It is a matter for individual line Departments to monitor and control the roll out of their own capital programmes within the ceilings and sanction arrangements set down by my Department. Queries in relation to expenditure by Departments at project level should be directed to the relevant Minister and his/her Department.
