There is currently one Public Private Partnership being undertaken by my Department and Bodies under my remit. Details as follows:

Name of ProjectCapital CostPPP Payments
Criminal Court of Justice€132mCirca €21.6m* pa. (including VAT). Over a 25 year period.
*This PPP payment includes provision for structural maintenance and operation of certain services within the Criminal Courts of Justice.

The Criminal Courts of Justice was built in order to consolidate the administration of criminal cases which heretofore had been dealt with in a number of central Dublin locations in and around the Four Courts into one dedicated facility. The complex was build on foot of a design, build, operate and maintain PPP contract awarded in 2007 to Babock and Brown (the PPP Co.) now IPP CCC GP1 LTD. The contract duration is 25 years after which the building should be handed back to the Courts Service as new. The first court sitting in the complex was on the 24th November 2009, with the CCJ officially opening in January 2010.
