Committee on Public Petitions
Direct Provision Policy and Related Matters: Discussion (Resumed)
Dr. Fergal Lynch:
We would normally make an arrangement with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform to allow us to carry forward money. It is a particular issue, as the Senator knows, with capital expenditure as to exactly how quickly it would be spent.
We would certainly aim to carry forward anything unspent in 2022 into 2023, and indeed the same would apply for subsequent years.
