Within the remit of the Department, the National Development Plan (NDP) 2007-2013 makes provision for allocations, inter alia, to the Sports Sub-Programme of the Sports, Culture, Heritage and Community Infrastructure Programme and to the Tourism Programme. Details of NDP expenditure to date in respect of both these measures are as set out in the following table.

The Government recently announced its intention to examine all current and capital expenditure as part of its decision to introduce further measures to stabilise the public finances. Decisions on further funding for the NDP will be reviewed in the course of these deliberations.
