Current projections are that the subhead provision for 2023 will be fully expended by year-end. My Department monitors all subhead expenditure trends internally on an ongoing basis and also provide monthly expenditure reports to the Department of Public Expenditure NDP Delivery & Reform to facilitate further external review and analysis.

In light of the clarification received from the Deputy in relation to the information requested, it is not possible to collate the required information within the timeframe available. I will arrange to have this information forwarded to the Deputy as soon as it is available.
