602. Deputy Barry Cowen asked the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the specific projects which will receive the €21 million in extra capital expenditure in 2019 as outlined in annex 1 of the National Development Plan 2018-2027; the amount each project will receive of this €21 million in tabular form; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [31271/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe broad capital allocations for projects and programmes are set out in my Department’s 10 Year Plan, “Investing in our Culture, Language & Heritage 2018 – 2027”, at https://www.chg.gov.ie/app/uploads/2018/04/capital_plan_april3-8.pdf which explicitly recognises that our culture, language and heritage are an essential part of the sustainable development of the country. The break out of the additional €21 million in capital expenditure for my Department under the National Development Plan has not yet been finalised as investments over the period are subject to appraisal and evaluation in line with the Public Spending Code.
More details on the individual projects and programmes will emerge as we go through the process of appraising, evaluating and planning for these important investments. The final disaggregation will be completed as part of the annual Estimates process for 2019.
