Further information in relation to these Estimate provisions for 2018 are set out in Revised Estimates for Public Services 2018 published by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and available at www.per.gov.ie/en/rev/. Given the range of projects supported through these programmes, particularly in the areas of housing and water services, and the delegated authority to local authorities in relation to certain projects, it is not possible to provide a funding breakdown by specific individual projects.
The capital expenditure provision for my Department in 2019, as announced in Project Ireland 2040: National Development Plan 2018-2027 , is set out in the following table:
|
Capital Allocation 2019 |
2019 (€m) |

Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government |
2,033 |
This funding provision, which includes increased funding of €402m for 2019, will be used to advance capital investment across a range of programme areas within my Department’s remit, including local authority housing, voluntary housing, estate regeneration, the Local Infrastructure Housing Activation Fund, urban regeneration and development, water and wastewater services, and fire and emergency services. Details of specific allocations towards individual programmes will be finalised as part of the 2019 Estimates process, as normal.
