Summer Economic Statement 2022: Discussion
Pearse Doherty (Donegal, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
I appreciate that.
Will the Minister clarify that capital expenditure will be increased by €800 million in line with the national development plan capital ceilings? Is this the figure we will see in the budget for 2023? Is there leeway to further increase capital? It is obviously not identified in the summer economic statement. The Minister could take some of the €2.7 billion from expenditure and put it into capital. Is the Minister sticking with what is in the national development plan?
