Mr. Graham Doyle:

In the same way we do not do forecasts on housing activity, we will not give a forecast like that. Our objective is to spend our capital budget in its entirety. There is always an element of carry-forward but we do not like surrendering money. We had this discussion last time we were before the committee. Nobody in the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage gets up in the morning and wants to underspend the budget. We do however want to spend our budget properly and in line with all the procedures we have to deal with.
