I wish to inform the Deputy that the 2018 capital allocation of €144.2m to the Justice Vote Group comprises a mixture of project capital and on-going non project capital expenditure. Detailed breakdown of this allocation is contained in the table below.
In terms of the 2019 capital allocation, a similar range of ongoing capital expenditure categories will apply, however, final details remain subject to completion of design, procurement and the reparation of cash flow projections for many of the projects. It is anticipated that a significant portion of the additional 2019 allocation will be allocated for the construction of the new Forensic Science Laboratory at Backweston and the redevelopment of Limerick prison.
