Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 February 2013
217. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the amount of his Department’s €4 million capital spending for 2013 that will go towards construction projects; the projects that are involved; the details of these projects; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5276/13]
View answerSubject to confirmation in the revised estimates process, a sum of €1.9 m has been provisionally earmarked from my Department’s capital budget for necessary maintenance and refurbishment of State owned premises in 2013. The specific list of projects which will be taken forward in 2013 will be decided thereafter on the basis of an assessment of the relative need and urgency of works at the premises concerned. The Deputy will appreciate that it is also necessary to retain a degree of flexibility in planning to ensure that capacity exists to meet unforeseen requirements that may arise during the course of the year.
