The 2002 spend in respect of my Department as it is now constituted is broadly consistent with the relevant profiles of expenditure which were drawn up in accordance with the provisions set out in the 2002 Revised Estimates for Public Services. An excess of some €50 million for recoupment to local authorities in respect of accommodation for homeless persons, including asylum seekers, will be offset by savings in a range of other programmes. These programmes are likely to include regeneration of local authority housing areas, non-national roads, waste management and urban renewal grants where, for various reasons, it would not be possible or prudent to expend the relevant estimates provision in full.
