My Department is engaged in an on-going capital building programme designed to modernise and enhance the training, operational and accommodation facilities available to the Defence Forces both Permanent and Reserve. The programme focuses mainly on infrastructural projects comprising the construction of new buildings and the refurbishment of existing buildings. Given the extensive effort involved in compiling the information in the requested format and the time available, it has not been possible to give a detailed breakdown by county as far back as 1997. However my Department can provide this information from 2004 onwards.

The table below outlines the amount spent on capital projects over €500,000 in each county, each year from January 2004 to December 2007. Only counties that have had capital expenditure are listed.
