Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 8 July 2015
78. Deputy Michelle Mulherin asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform when he expects to publish the new capital investment framework which will include provision for flood relief capital works; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27736/15]
View answerAs the Deputy is aware, my Department has led a review of the public capital investment needs of the State for the five year period 2016-2020. The outcome of this review will be set out in the Medium Term Capital Investment Framework Report that will be published when approved by Government. It will outline the capital envelope decided upon by the Government for the period to 2020 and identify priority areas for investment and ensure that our limited resources are focussed on the areas that can best support continued, sustainable and equitable growth. We now expect to publish the review in September, after the Government has considered and made its decisions on future capital investment.
