I propose to take Questions Nos. 902 and 903 together.

My Department’s gross allocation to deliver its wide range of programmes and measures in 2012 is €268.451m. For the Deputy’s information, on 31st August 2012, my Department’s gross expenditure totalled approximately €171.5m. This represents 99% of the published profile and 64% of the REV allocation. I expect expenditure to remain on profile and that my allocation will be fully drawn down.

I will continue to closely monitor expenditure trends across all my Department’s subheads in the lead up to year-end.
