For 2017 my Department has an allocation of over €1.1 bn capital and €680m current.  There is no unallocated spend and I anticipate that the total allocation will be spent this year.

In relation to 2018, my Department has input into the Spending Review and the mid-term review of the Capital Plan that is currently underway by Government.  This input will form part of the Government's deliberations on Budget 2018.
