I propose to take Questions Nos. 63 to 65, inclusive, together.
My Department has an allocation of €150,000 for capital expenditure of which €75,000 is allocated to premises and €75,000 to purchase IT equipment. We expect to use the full allocation in this area.
With regard to current expenditure, over 70% of my Department's current expenditure budget relates to pay and facilities costs. The remainder is allocated across a range of projects including the National Payments Plan and the stabilisation of the banking sector. The budgets for these projects have been set to enable the Department to address issues and deliverables as they arise. At this point, the end year outturn cannot, therefore, be projected with any certainty.
