The table shows gross Voted capital expenditure from 1997 to 2007. This has been broken down by Department and expressed as a percentage of both GDP and GNI. All expenditure figures in the table are taken from the Appropriation Accounts for each year with the exception of 2008. As final gross Voted expenditure figures are not yet available, the expenditure figures for 2008 are obtained from the gross Forecast Outturn as published on Budget Day. However Provisional Outturn Figures will be available in the forthcoming Revised Estimates Volume 2009.

*Note: GDP/ GNI is based on figures published by the CSO in the National Accounts, except for 2008 where the GNI figure is taken from the European Commission's latest forecast.
All outtutns are from the Appropriation Accounts except 2008 where the figures provided are from the Budget Day forecast outturn.
GDP and GNI figures are taken from the National Income and Expenditure Account published by the Central Statistics Office, with the exception of the GNI figure for 2008, which is the latest forecast figure available from the European Commission. It should be noted that it is the normal practice of my Department to express Gross capital expenditure as a proportion of GNP rather than GDP or GNI. I include GNP figures for 1997 to 2007 for your information.
