Written answers

Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform (Deputy Brendan Howlin)

I presume that the Deputy is referring to the Public Capital Programme as the NDP has effectively been superseded for some time now. In this regard, I would draw the Deputy's attention to the Capital Review which the Government published last week. This lays out allocations and priorities for capital investment from 2012 to 2016 reflecting the fiscal constraints we are experiencing. I understand copies of the Review have been circulated to Deputies.
