In reply to the Deputy's question, an amount of €1.33m was spent by my Department on the construction of a Civil Service crèche in Mahon, Cork in 2008.

There was no capital spending on construction projects by the bodies operating under the responsibility of my Department for the period in question (2008 - 2014 (to date)).

163. To ask the Minister for Finance to detail the amount of the €5 million designated to the finance group for direct Exchequer capital funding according to the Government Estimates for 2014 that is expected to go towards construction-related projects; if he will list the projects; if he will provide an update on any of these projects; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The €5m capital allocation for the Finance Vote Group is split between the Office of the Revenue Commissioners (€4.850m) and the Department of Finance (€0.150m).

Of the €150k allocated to the Department of Finance, €75k is in respect of internal refurbishment of buildings in the Merrion Street Complex, with the balance attributable to ICT.

As regards the €4.850m allocated to Revenue for 2014, I can confirm that none of this is to go towards construction projects. Any such spending would have been taken care of by the Office of Public Works.
