Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 16 July 2015
838. Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the current and capital funding allocated to his Department; the underspend or overspend in 2015 to date under each category based on his Department's spending profile; the funding made available within and external to his Department's functions to support innovation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30132/15]
View answer2015 REV and expenditure position as at end June 2015 is summarised below, in terms of current and capital spend. Current expenditure is behind profile by 2.5% (over €8m). Capital spend is ahead by 14% (€30m approx.) due mainly to faster drawdown on NRA national roads programme and NTA's public transport programmes. I expect spend across all programmes to come in on budget by year end. We do not have a specific provision of funding to support innovation per se. That said, there are examples of innovative projects under all programme headings.
