Public Financial Procedures provide that a maximum of up to 10% of the capital envelope of a Vote may be carried over by way of ‘deferred surrender’ to the following year for spending in that year on priority capital programmes. The total amount carried over by my Department from 2016 into 2017 was €13,548,000.
Work is continuing on finalising the 2017 expenditure figures for my Department and adjustments continue to be made in relation to individual financial transactions to ensure that expenditure is accounted for in accordance with Government accounting policies, principles and procedures. As in previous years, this annual process will take a number of weeks to complete.
However, I can advise that the provisional outturn on expenditure from capital carryover is estimated at €13,099,000 or 97% of the total allocation – this expenditure is itemised below on a subhead by subhead basis.
