Mr. Garret Doocey:
It comes from within our overall Vote. We have been given a five-year envelope or Vote out to 2030. Management of our overall capital budget is a primary responsibility of us as a Department and of Mr. Spratt as Accounting Officer. However, when you have a programme such as ours - a €22 billion programme over five years - there will be underspends in areas and there will overspends in areas. You manage it at the programme level in terms of allocating resources. At the outset, we had a discussion about the greenway underspend. There is an underspend in greenways but there is pressure on active travel.
