National Development Plan
Dail Éireann — 2023-06-27
============================================================

Paschal Donohoe (FG), Dublin Central

As I explained in dealing with the more general questions earlier in this session, it is the responsibility of individual Ministers regarding particular capital projects for which they are responsible. It is also the case at the moment that the Department of Transport in the latest Exchequer returns that we published for May was pointing to a capital underspend. The Minister and his Department are confident that as they move through that year, either that underspend will be minimised or it will come in broadly in line with the spend it has profiled. I have heard the views of Deputies on individual roads projects and I am happy to raise those particular matters with the Minister on their behalf.
