Deputy, At the end of 2021, my department reported an underspend of 193,382,398.28 This is a combination of Capital Carryover (161,100,000.00) and monies returned to the exchequer (354,482,398.28)
To date, we are 257,788,000.00 behind profile.
These underspends are due to a wide variety of reasons and are across several subheads. They are being addressed on a suitable case-by-case basis in a manner which can best support delivery of the Department's overall investment objectives for 2022. I will continue to monitor progress on expenditure closely between now and year end and my officials and I are actively engaging with the relevant stakeholders to ensure that the expenditure allocated is fully utilised as planned.
