Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 20 January 2022
66. Deputy Willie O'Dea asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the level of gross capital expenditure in 2021; the amount that has been allocated for 2022 in this regard; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2550/22]
View answerInformation on expenditure is published each month in the Fiscal Monitor. The gross capital expenditure to end-December 2021 for each Department can be found on pages 19 and 20 of the Fiscal Monitor, published on 5 January 2022.
For the Deputy’s convenience, I have included a table below detailing the gross capital expenditure position for 2021 and the 2022 gross capital allocation for each Department.
It should be noted that the 2021 expenditure figures remain provisional until they are formally ratified by the Comptroller and Auditor General following his detailed audit of each Departments’ accounts.
