Significant savings have been made in the youth capital scheme, under subhead B6 - youth services, with €1.665 million saved. There have been time-related savings for certain projects where demand was less than anticipated. When capital moneys are not expended I take an interest, as I did when it happened in the Department of Education and Skills in the past. The infrastructure to be delivered by these projects across the country is critical. I would prefer an overspend to an underspend.
