Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 July 2018
312. Deputy Micheál Martin asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the number of times he has met his officials regarding Project Ireland 2040 since its launch; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30556/18]
View answerAs part of the Government's overall vision set out in Project Ireland 2040, significant investment is provided for under the National Development Plan in the Justice and Equality field. In particular, the Plan provides for major investment in technology and specialised building projects across the sector, with a view to providing a safe and fair environment within which the National Planning Framework can be delivered.
I engage on an ongoing basis with my officials to discuss progress on delivery of the Government's priorities, including in relation to financial matters and capital projects across the Justice and Equality sector. In particular, I meet formally with the Management Board of my Department every month or so, with the agenda for these meetings including a standing item on financial matters, as well as regular updates on key projects and programmes within the National Development Plan across the Justice and Equality sector.
