Written answers

An examination of records indicates that my Department has not directly completed any capital project costing €10 million or more in the period from 2011 to date.

Local authorities and bodies under the aegis of my Department enter into capital contracts in the course of their work, some of which is funded through the Department's Vote. As regards relevant contracts for which local authorities are responsible, information on expenditure and multi-annual capital commitments is set out in Note 2.9/2.10 to the Department's Appropriation Accounts for the relevant years (Vote 25 up to 2014; Vote 34 thereafter) which are published by the Comptroller and Auditor General and are available at https://www.audit.gov.ie/en/Publications, by clicking on "Appropriation Accounts".
