Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the funding that his Department or agencies under the remit of his Department have provided to projects in County Roscommon in each of the years 2016 to 2018 and to date in 2019, respectively; if the funding has been allocated; if it has been drawn down in each case; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 130 and 131 together.
My Department or the bodies under its aegis have not funded any projects in the counties in question. Due to the nature of its role, the purpose of projects undertaken by my Department is to deliver greater effectiveness and efficiency across the Civil and Public Service. While all counties ultimately benefit from my Department’s reform plans by delivering a more effective Civil and Public Service, project expenditure is primarily invested in the Department's own ICT systems.
