Written answers

I propose to take Question Nos. 145 and 146 together.

Capital Carryover is derived from the Department’s annual underspend up to a maximum 10% of the Capital Allocation in that year and the remainder is surrendered to the Exchequer.

A Capital Carryover of €57.9m was carried forward into 2022. This carryover allocation is a portion of the 2021 provisional underspend of €85.5m which arose across all Programmes in the Department.  The final outturn for each Programme will be available in the 2021 Appropriation Account when published.  The carryover was allocated on the basis of the maximum 10% limit for carryover and an assessment of the Department's funding requirements for 2022.  On that basis the €57.9m was allocated to Programme B - Energy Transformation, details of which are in the table below.
