Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 12 October 2022
138. Deputy Rose Conway-Walsh asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science the reason that the core capital allocation is €568 million given the National Development Plan anticipated €579 million; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [50538/22]
View answerThe capital allocation for my Department for 2022 was €552 million: €538 million funding under the National Development Plan (€534 million core funding, €4 million temporary National Recovery and Resilience (NRRP) Funding) and €14 million funding from the Shared Island Fund.
As at Budget 2023 the capital allocation to my Department increased to €588 million. This consists of €579 million funding under the National Development Plan (€559 million core funding, €20 million temporary NRRP funding) and €9.5 million funding from the Shared Island Fund.
The 2023 figure in the National Development Plan of €579 million includes €20 million temporary NRRP allocation but excludes €9.5 million allocated through the Shared Island Fund.
The movement in my capital allocation is detailed in the table below, as published in the Budget 2023 Expenditure Report, page 111.
