751. To ask the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources the level of construction inflation that has been experienced by his Department in each of the past six years and to date in 2017 in respect of construction projects and other capital projects; the way in which he monitors construction inflation and the mechanisms he employs to establish this; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

My Department does not engage directly in any construction projects and accordingly does not directly monitor construction inflation. In relation to other types of capital expenditure, all projects operate within agreed budgets and must adhere to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform’s Public Spending Code. All procurements for capital projects in my Department must comply with National and EU procurement rules.
