The National Development Plan provides an annual breakdown of the proposed investment for my Department over the next five years. These figures  provide the necessary clarity to allow my Department to properly schedule the delivery of projects and programmes. 

More details on the commencement and completion dates for projects and programmes, as well as the timing of the expenditure in relation to them, will emerge as we go through the process of appraisal and planning as required under the Public Spending Code. 

However, as I have previously indicated, I expect that the next five years will see the delivery of significant renovations projects at a number of our National Cultural Institutions, investment in our built and natural heritage, investment in our regional arts and culture facilities, the digitisation of large parts of the National Collections as well as increased investment in the Irish language and Gaeltacht and Island communities.
