Reports provided by Departments for the end 2012 Exchequer Statement showed that net voted capital expenditure across all Departments amounted to €936m for the month of December and €3,382m over the course of the year. A further €113m in capital carryover from 2011 was also spent in 2012. A breakdown of expenditure by Vote is attached in tabular format. The figures contained in the table relate to cash expenditure only; they do not include the €107 m in unspent capital which is being carried over into 2013 under the capital carryover arrangements.

It should be noted that figures provided for the Exchequer Statement are provisional; confirmed figures will be available when the monthly Capital Expenditure Returns are received from all Departments.
