Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Fiscal Assessment Report: Engagement with the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council

2:00 am

Mr. Niall Conroy:

One thing I might add is that at the moment, if a Government Department fails to spend its full capital allocation, it can carry over some funds to the following year up to a limit of about 10% of what its allocation was for capital spending in that year. There is some scope but it is pretty limited.
