The Exchequer Statement (Fiscal Monitor) for June 2018, as published by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, shows that the capital expenditure outlays by my Department are below the expenditure profile by €5 million.

The Deputy might note that the level of underspend at this time specifically relates to timing factors associated with the drawdown of funds across a number of programme areas and that the situation is expected to reverse over the coming months. Details of the programmes are set out in the following table:
