As set out in the National Development Plan, the vast majority capital expenditure under my Department’s remit is through multi-annual programmes which comprise of demand-led schemes which co-fund a very wide range of projects by operators across the Agriculture, Food and Marine sectors. There will also be funding for a range of enhancements over the period of the NDP for publically owned infrastructure such as in our fishery harbour centres and research and innovation facilities and equipment.
