Amharc ar fhreagraA mid-term review of the Capital Plan is currently underway by Government to look at where capital investment priorities lie over the remaining 4 years of the current plan. I am engaged in making our case to the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform for increased funding for a variety of important capital investments. These will, where agreed, address deficiencies in the current transport network. I understand that all Departmental submissions relating to the capital Plan will be made in due course and that a final decision on these submissions will be made by the Government as part of the 2018 estimate.
In addition, my officials and I are contiuing to analyise possible risks to our transport networks arising from Brexit and to plan measures on how to mitigate these.
