View answerMy Department expects that there will be no underspend in either its Current or Capital allocation for 2015.
An additional €100m was allocated to my Department in July this year to cover a number of areas including €35m towards critical remedial works, maintenance and strengthening of the road network at regional and local level, €60m for various public transport projects and €5m for tourism related projects and the Indoor Arena. This amount will be included in the Supplementary Estimate with Formal Dáil approval expected in November 2015.
