Vol. 572 No. 6

Written Answers. - Departmental Expenditure.

Bernard J. Durkan

Ceist:

110 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the areas for which his Department has responsibility in respect of which increased expenditure has taken place; the areas of reduced expenditure in 2003; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24039/03]

The following list outlines the main areas of increase and decrease between expenditure in the Department of Community, Rural, Gaelatcht Affairs in 2002, as set out in the Appropriation Account which has just been published by the Comptroller and Auditor General, and the allocations for 2003.

It can be anticipated, in line with other Departments, that underspends on some subheads and transfers to others within the Vote, will arise during 2003.

It is expected that overall expenditure in my Department this year will be broadly in line with the allocated amount of almost €267 million. Expenditure so far is running at over 90% of the projected figure and it is expected that it will pick up towards the end of the year to match the allocation in the Revised Estimates Volume.
