I propose to take Questions Nos. 290 to 292, inclusive, together.

The capital allocation for my Department as announced in the National Development Plan 2018-2027 for the period 2018-2022 amounts to €10.232 billion.  

The annual breakdown of funding is as follows:

Capital Allocations 2018-2022 (€m)2018 2019 2020 2021 2022
Housing, Planning & Local Government€1,631 €2,033 €2,079 €2,209 €2,280

My Department has a wide and diverse business agenda including delivering on a wide range of social housing capital programmes under the Rebuilding Ireland Action Plan, the Local Infrastructure Housing Activation Fund and Urban Renewal as well as a range of smaller scale capital projects including the Rural Water Programme, Fire Services and Met Eireann.  My Department allocates significant resources to a wide range of organisations, including local authorities, dedicated agencies and non-statutory bodies, as well as to individuals. The information requested, related to individual capital projects, is not readily available in my Department in the format requested and its compilation would involve a disproportionate amount of time and work.  If a more specific question is tabled relating to a particular area of funding from my Department, I will endeavour to provide the information sought.
