Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 23 January 2019
23. Deputy Marcella Corcoran Kennedy asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development the expenditure outturn in 2018 under all budget headings for which he is responsible; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2926/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department had a current expenditure allocation of €144.02 million in 2018. The provisional current expenditure outturn is €142.36 million.
The capital allocation for my Department in 2018 was €95.21 million, which includes a capital carryover of €7.7 million from 2017. The provisional outturn for capital expenditure stands at €95.12 million.
Therefore, in total, €237.48 million was spent in 2018 from an available allocation of €239.23 million. This represents virtually a full spend, with the small saving resulting mainly from savings in the administration costs of my Department.
This expenditure and investment in rural and community development programmes is delivering real benefits on the ground. Initiatives such as town and village renewal, LEADER, SICAP and CSP are all supporting the economic and social development of people and communities right across the country, and will continue to do so in 2019.
I have set out in the table the provisional outturn by programme in respect of Departmental expenditure in 2018. A provisional appropriation account will be submitted to the Comptroller and Auditor General by the 31st March 2018. The final audited account will then be published in September 2019.
