Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 16 July 2015
247. Deputy Martin Heydon asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the amount of investment from capital spending his Department has made in County Kildare since 2011; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29917/15]
View answerIn response to the Deputy's question I can confirm that the figure for the amount of investment from capital spending my Department has made to County Kildare since 2011 is not available.
In comparison with other Departments my capital budget spend is relatively small which is nearly all invested in Information Technology infrastructure across the Civil Service to enable delivery of better outcomes for citizens and businesses and improve efficiency. While some Departments may be in part located in County Kildare, it would not really be possible to quantify an amount of IT capital investment from my Department which related solely to parts of Departments located in County Kildare.
