Year to date in 2024, gross expenditure is running €14.3m (-1%) below profiled expenditure for that period. This represents +€2.8m (0.2%) in Current expenditure and -(€17.1m) (-92%) in Capital Expenditure. The underspend in Capital expenditure relates primarily to the timing of expenditure in relation to the OPW Modular housing programme.
