Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 June 2021
505. Deputy Imelda Munster asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media the amount of the capital expenditure allocated to her Department in Budget 2021 that has been spent to date; the expected amount to be spent by the end of 2021; and the amount expected to be carried over to 2022.

View answerDetails of capital expenditure by my Department and all Government departments are made available by the Department of Finance on a monthly basis at: www.gov.ie/en/collection/c1b65-fiscal-monitors-2021/
Total gross capital expenditure for my Department to 31 May 2021 amounts to €14.97m, excluding expenditure on capital carryover (€10.169m). These figures are provisional as all expenditure within my Department's Vote is subject to an ongoing internal verification and monitoring process to ensure the best use of available financial resources. Adjustments may fall to be made between subheads as part of this process and all figures are subject to audit by the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General.
While it is too early to accurately forecast the full end of year out-turn, I can advise that no significant capital savings are envisaged at present.
All expenditure within my Department's vote will continue to be carefully monitored between now and year end to ensure the best use of available financial resources.
