Under the Infrastructure and Capital Investment Plan 2012-2016 the Government have committed €168m over each of the 5 years of the programme acknowledging the important contribution that the Agriculture, Food, Forestry and Marine sectors make to the economic and social development and the further potential to contribute to economic recovery.

As of now, no decisions have been made on the breakdown of the capital allocation for 2012 or beyond between programmes or measures. The Government is continuing its deliberations on the 2012 Budget and Estimates for Departments and when this process is concluded I will decide on the distribution of the funding for 2012 among the various capital programmes and schemes being implemented by the Department.
