The Further Revised Estimates for 2019 in respect of the Department of Rural and Community Development provides for gross capital expenditure of €138 million.
€69.7 million of my Department's capital allocation has been spent to date. I have set out expenditure allocations by subhead and the respective spend to end of September in the following table.
At this stage of the year gross capital expenditure is slightly ahead of the profile estimated at the start of the year. As is usual for capital programmes, the majority of claims for payment will be made in the final quarter of the year as projects progress to completion and capital grant approvals are drawn down. Therefore, continued close monitoring of expenditure is a matter of significant priority so as to ensure full use of our allocated resources, and that value for money is delivered in respect of our funding.
I intend to ensure that the resources made available to my Department this year are fully utilised, delivering benefits for all communities and for rural Ireland.
