Liz McManus (Wicklow, Labour)

Yesterday the clear impression was given that money would be transferred from the capital budget to a day to day spending budget but the Minister has said this is not true. Can she guarantee the sum of €56 million will carry over from last year to this year's capital programme? That is important because the money is desperately needed.

Will a Supplementary Estimate be introduced because there is overspending on day to day spending? If the Minister is to guarantee the carryover in capital spending, such an Estimate will have to be introduced.
