Expenditure on capital investment in my Department is divided into two areas, Facilities and Information and Communications Technology (ICT) infrastructure.
The following table outlines the total cost of ongoing and approved Facilities projects by county together with their status as of 10 November 2015 -
| Description | Properties | County | € | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Thurles | Thurles | Tipperary | 1,276,000 | In-Progress |
| Navan | Kennedy Road/Abbey Mall | Meath | 1,537,929 | In-Progress |
| Letterkenny | Oliver Plunkett Road | Donegal | 1,516,000 | In-Progress |
| Kilmainham | Con Colbert House | Dublin | 1,923,514 | Approved |
| - | - | Total Spent and approved: | 6,253,443 | - |
ICT infrastructure is not split on a county by county basis but refers to expenditure incurred by the Department and covers such items as computer hardware, photocopiers and other Information Technology related equipment.
In addition to the projects undertaken and approved, my Department has completed a number of other Facility projects in 2015. These relate to the ongoing roll-out of interview centres across the country.
