I propose to take Questions Nos. 235 to 237, inclusive, and 254 and 255 together.
It is not anticipated, at this stage, that there will be any carry forward of capital expenditure from 2014 into 2015.
There was an under-spend of €23.6 million or 0.2% on the Department’s overall expenditure on schemes, services and administration at the end of June 2014. This performance is very close to target and, accordingly, it is too early to predict an out-turn for the year (or any associated carry-forward) other than the original allocation provided in the REV.
PRSI income in the year to end June was €3,811 million or €114 million (3.1%) ahead of profile. While PRSI income performance in the year to date is encouraging and indicative of a strengthening labour market, it is too early to predict the eventual out-turn given that six months collection is outstanding.
