Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 April 2023
453. Deputy Rose Conway-Walsh asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform the total expenditure through public procurement in each of the years since 2006, broken down by capital works and goods and services, and by inside and outside of central Government spending; and the total amount of expenditure through public procurement as a percentage of total government spending since 2006, in tabular form. [17113/23]
View answerAs the Deputy is aware, my Department is responsible for the allocation of public funds across each area of Government. It does not have a function for the allocation or monitoring of expenditure outside central Government spending. The following table sets out the gross capital and current expenditure outturn figures as audited by the Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG) and published in the annual Appropriation Account Reports for the period 2006 – 2021. The 2022 figures are the provisional outturn figures as reported by Departments, which are currently being audited and will be published by the C&AG later-on this year. It should be noted that the 2022 provisional outturn figures do not include the carryover of €687 million into 2023 or the carryover of approximately €800 million from 2021 spent in 2022. The 2023 allocations are included for the Deputy’s information.
