In addition, I am happy to report that the 2014 Stimulus Plan announced by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform in his Budget speech will benefit my Department's capital envelope by in the order of €90m. The precise amount and distribution of this funding will depend on the level of funding available from the proceeds of the sale of the Lottery license. The main beneficiaries will include the local and regional roads mainteance, the Wild Atlantic Way tourism route, the National Sports Campus and the Sports Capital Programme. 

On the current expenditure side, my Department's Vote has been  reduced by €75m on 2013. This is in line with commitments made under the Comprehensive Expenditure Review.  The distribution of these cuts is set out in the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform's Expenditure Report 2014.  A more detailed distribution of the funding, including the additional Stimulus funding, will be agreed and published in the Revised Estimates due in December.
