View answerAs Minister for Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery, and Reform I am responsible for setting the overall capital allocations across Departments.
Over the lifetime of this NDP out to 2030, the government is investing €165 billion in new and upgraded infrastructure that will meet the needs of our growing population. This year alone over €12 billion will be invested from the Exchequer in vital infrastructure projects. The NDP included agreed Exchequer allocations for each Department for the period out to 2025 and the overall capital expenditure ceilings out to 2030, these allocations have been replicated in the tables set out below.
