Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 November 2013
77. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he will provide a breakdown of the annual infrastructure and capital expenditure by the State on a regional basis and a county basis over the past five years. [48450/13]
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 a matter for individual Ministers and their Departments. My Department does not maintain information in relation to the regional or county breakdown of capital expenditure by Departments and their Agencies.
Details in relation to the overall annual Exchequer capital budget for the past five years along with a breakdown by Department can be found on the databank website hosted by my Department, http://databank.per.gov.ie/. The databank contains a comprehensive set of data on public expenditure in Ireland.
