The Built Heritage programme of the National Development Plan 2007-2013 (NDP) is aimed at conserving, protecting and enhancing public appreciation of Ireland's architectural and archaeological heritage. Of the €373 million investment proposed under the programme, €252.8 million is intended for use by my Department with the remainder allocated to the Office of Public Works.

Total expenditure by my Department under the programme in 2007 amounted to €30.7 million. A further €37.9 has been allocated in 2008 of which €5.35 million was spent up to the end of May. At this stage, I envisage that the indicative funding provided under the NDP will be spent over the Plan period.
