Vol. 555 No. 3
138 Mr. Stagg asked the Minister for Transport the way in which the spending incurred by his Department to date compares with the amounts allocated in the Book of Estimates; if his Department will come in on target, in regard to expenditure; if he anticipates further cutbacks or adjustments in his Department; the areas in which these will be made; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18234/02]
I understand the Deputy's question refers to the former Department of Public Enterprise Vote. As the Deputy will appreciate, this Vote is in the process of being revised to reflect the changes in Departmental functions following the setting up of the Department of Transport with effect from 19 June 2002. The information requested by the Deputy is contained in the following table, but this relates to expenditure which is now the responsibility of four Departments. In the circumstances, I am not in a position to anticipate a year end figure with reference to the original Vote. However, in respect of the areas for which I have responsibility in the Department of Transport, I expect expenditure to come in on target. Any overruns which may occur on particular programmes will be met by savings elsewhere.
