Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 February 2013
878. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will provide a breakdown of the €286 million of capital funding spent by his Department during December; the reason 31% of his Department's overall capital spend was held until December; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5142/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe breakdown of the capital spend for the month of December is set out in the table. The 2012 gross capital allocation for my Department was €1,245 million and there was a capital carryover from 2011 of €8.7 million. The gross December spend of €414 million represents just over 33% of that total amount. Spending profiles in my Department normally show a concentration of expenditure at year-end when the various implementing agencies present final requests for payment for expenditure undertaken by them most notably in the areas of road improvements and maintenance and public transport investment.
