Work is continuing on finalising the 2017 expenditure figures for my Department and adjustments continue to be made in relation to individual financial transactions to ensure that expenditure is accounted for in accordance with Government accounting policies, principles and procedures.
However, provisional figures outline that the total capital expenditure for my Department for 2017 will be €50.095m. In addition, the sum of €700,000 has been earmarked for carryover by way of deferred surrender into 2018. This indicates that 99% of the 2017 capital allocation for my Department has been utilised, taking account of both expenditure and carryover, and underlines my commitment to ensuring that the maximum value is derived from my Department's budget in terms of maintaining, promoting and protecting Ireland’s heritage and culture, developing cultural tourism, advancing the use of the Irish language and supporting the sustainable development of the islands.
Details of the final outturn for my Department at subhead level for 2017, together with explanations for any variances between allocations and expenditure, will be published in the Annual Appropriation Account for 2017 and be made available on the website of the Comptroller and Auditor General later this year, as was the case for previous years.
