2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage

Ms Marguerite Ryan:

It was primarily related to the slowdown in the construction sector. In each of the major capital programmes, the expenditure slowed. We worked with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform to use the capital carry-over process to bring that funding forward into the following year where it could be added to what we were going to be doing in the following year. The surrender to the Exchequer was much smaller, in the order of €10 million to €12 million. I can check the figure. We did not lose the €214 million we brought with us.
