Public Financial Procedures provide that a maximum of up to 10% of the capital envelope of a Vote may be carried over by way of ‘deferred surrender’ to the following year for spending in that year on priority capital programmes. Provision is made in the Revised Estimates Volume for the capital carryover amount by subhead and in a Ministerial Order to be made by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform before 31 March in the year of carryover.

The total amount carried over by my Department from 2016 into 2017 is €13,548,000.  Since the making of the relevant Order by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform on the 6^thof March 2017, expenditure totalling €9.038 million has been incurred against the total carryover as follows:

Expenditure under these subheads will continue to be closely monitored to year end.

Details of the financial allocations for my Department for 2018, including any potential carryover of unspent 2017 appropriations to capital supply services, will be made available once Revised Estimates 2018 are published by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.  

It is anticipated that all current funding will be expended in full and no significant capital savings beyond those which can be carried forward by deferred surrender into 2018 are envisaged.
