A sum of €33.447 million has been provided in my Department's Estimates for the building and refurbishment programme for 2005. This amount is divided into capital and non-capital expenditure.

The capital expenditure allocation for 2005 is €19.479 million. This amount is made up mainly of expenditure on projects started in late 2004 and projects starting in 2005. Details of these projects are shown in tabular format on the lists herewith which I propose to circulate in the Official Report.

The non-capital expenditure allocation for 2005 is €13.968 million. It will be expended on approximately 100 smaller projects plus a myriad of local service contracts, local purchase of materials and overseas mission requirements.
