The Review of the Capital Plan has been completed. It was published in August 2017 and it is available at the following link:

The Review informed final decision making by Government on the allocation of increased public capital resources in Estimates 2018. It also provided a significant input into the development of the new Ten Year National Development Plan.

The Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform will shortly bring proposals for the Ten Year National Development Plan to Government, with a view to publication alongside the new National Planning Framework.

Given its size and role, my Department does not have any capital expenditure allocation. However, as with other national strategies, my Department does contribute to the overall approach and priorities which will be contained in the forthcoming Plan.
