Changes to Public Spending Code: Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform
Mr. John Conlon:
The national development plan has been funded out to 2030 and allocations are being made. We have asked the ESRI to do some work for us on capacity and priorities to inform the coming years. As the earlier discussion with Deputy Conway-Walsh indicated, there are capacity constraints in the economy in terms of delivery, so we want the ESRI to do some work to help us to inform the evolution of the NDP in that way. We see ourselves working in that way, as the Deputy has questioned.
