As the Deputy will be aware, the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht was established on 2 June 2011, following substantial Departmental reconfigurations. During the period 2 June 2011 to 31 December 2011, voted capital expenditure in respect of my Department's Voluntary Bog Purchase Scheme amounted to €44,253.65. The individual amounts spent under the scheme were:
