There are currently no capital projects being undertaken by my Department. Additionally, it is not currently envisaged that any such capital projects will be undertaken by my Department in the immediate future.

However, with regard to the agencies under my remit, a total of €56 million is available for capital projects in 2012. Given that much of this funding is currently subject to, or will be subject to public tender process it would not be prudent on the grounds of commercial sensitivity and achieving best value for the State to disclose any further detail of estimates at this point.
