Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform

The National Development Plan announced an investment programme of €116 billion over the period 2018 - 2027.  There will be no increase in this amount to facilitate the construction of the National Children's Hospital, therefore there will be no additional impact on GGB, GDP or GNI*.
