As the Deputy will be aware, the Government’s Capital Plan was announced in September 2015 and outlined exchequer capital spending of €27 billion over the next six years. In the 2016 Summer Economic Statement, the Government committed to additional capital investment of €5.14 billion over the period of the Plan. Subsequently, in this week's 2017 Summer Economic Statement, an additional capital investment of €1.5 billion was committed to the remaining period of the Capital Plan.

My Department has overall responsibility for the Capital Plan. Individual Ministers will be able to provide the information sought on projects being funded under the Capital Plan by the relevant line Departments.

The Office of Public Works, as an Office under the aegis of this Department, will be responding to you directly within the next ten days in accordance with Standing Order 42A.
