My Department is responsible for a wide range of capital programmes, including in the areas of housing, water services, environmental protection, local government services, and community and rural development. The following tables give details of capital expenditure broken down into programme areas over the period 2008 to 2012.

A regional or county breakdown of the expenditure concerned, amounting to over €7 billion in these years, is not readily available in my Department. Given the significant investment and large volume of payments involved (to a wide range of organisations and individuals over the five year period), compilation of the information requested would require a disproportionate amount of time and work. If the Deputy wishes to put down a more specific question in the area of funding from my Department, I will endeavour to provide the information sought.
