The Supplementary Estimate for my Department, which was approved by the Dáil last week, allowed for the reallocation of €30.8 million in capital expenditure savings to current expenditure.  The remainder of the capital allocation for 2012 will be spent by year-end. This reallocation was to provide for the additional funding announced in July for the CIE companies to ensure the continued delivery of public transport services.
