I can confirm that there is an Capital underspend of €22 million against expenditure profile to the end of November. Profiled expenditure including capital carryover was €79.631m against actual expenditure of €57.675 million. This is mainly due to lower than anticipated expenditure in a number of programme areas as set out in the following table. The figures to which I refer include capital carryover of €10.4 million which was allocated to Sustainable Energy Programmes.
