Question 298: To ask the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the amount of money yet to be spent under his Department's 2011 budget allocation before the end of 2011; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32284/11]

The information requested is set out in the following table:
| Revised Estimates Volume Provision June 2011 | Amount Spent to end October 2011 | Balance Remaining | |
| €000s | €000s | €000s | |
| Capital | 1,047,900 | 538,959 | 508,941 |
| Current | 613,796 | 467,399 | 146,397 |
| Total | 1,661,696 | 1,006,358 | 655,338 |
While annual capital expenditure on programmes for which my Department is responsible has traditionally been end loaded, there has been slower than expected progress on a number of such programmes so far in 2011.
I anticipate that there will be a significant increase in expenditure on the relevant programmes over the coming period.
