Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 259 and 260 together.

My Department does not have any capital projects that have cost €100 million or more in the past 5 years.

My Department has one capital project that is anticipated to commence in the next five years that is expected to cost over €100 million, the National Broadband Plan. The Department is commencing a procurement process for external advisors to support the post contract governance of the National Broadband Plan contract. The procurement process will determine the cost of the external consultants.
