Answer
The table below provides the detail requested.
| Description | Amount £m |
| Trust Port Loans | 13.8 |
| Blue/Green Capital Fund | 20.0 |
| Waterways Ireland | 2.0 |
| Total Other Capital Projects | 35.8 |
| Street Lighting | 41 |
| Bridges & Operational Plant | 14.3 |
| Total Bridges and Other | 55.3 |
| Less Overplanning | (12.6) |
| Total | 42.7 |
The breakdown provided in the table includes overplanning in capital works above my allocated budget to allow for slippage; which will inevitably occur in a budget of this size. This approach is considered to be prudent financial management and will help ensure that I maximise capital expenditure within my Department this financial year.
