I propose to take Question Nos. 271 to 273, inclusive, together.
My Department’s capital allocation is split across three subheads i.e. A.2.v Office Equipment and External IT Services, A.2.vi Office Premises Expenses and A.2.ix eGovernment Related Projects. Table 1 below outlines the capital allocation for 2018 to 2022, however, this is subject to ongoing review in the context of the annual Estimates.
Tables 2 and 3 outline my Department’s plans for the 2018 allocation of €11m.In relation to 2019 to 2022 it is intended that the allocation will primarily assist the Department in delivering additional IT modernisation and allow for the significant refurbishment of the Department’s Áras Mhic Dhiarmada and other buildings in the coming years. The capital projects are agreed with the Office of Public Works (OPW) annually on the basis of the Departments requirements and the OPW available capacity and resources.
