In a statement the Government said “it is normal at this point of the year for the level of spend to be quite low with a degree of underspend, with expenditure returning to profile by year-end”.
The department had a capital budget of €219 million to spend in the first three months of 2023, but the Cabinet was told on Thursday that spending, including on road networks, had fallen behind allocation.Ī spokesman for the Coalition said that officials in the department were confident that it would use all its spending allocation for capital projects – which comes to some €2.6 billion – by the end of the year. The Department of Transport underspent its capital budget by almost €100 million in the first quarter of the year, the Government has said.
