The recently published National Development Plan (NDP) 2018-2027 includes indicative Exchequer allocations for each Ministerial vote group up to 2022. It is intended that the indicative allocation for 2023 will be announced in Budget 2019 this October. The indicative allocations for my Department are set out in the following table:

While the distribution of the allocations for each of the years will only be confirmed as part of the annual Estimates process, I can say capital expenditure by my department over the period will include support for On farm investment, the forestry programme, food sector company investment, the development of Fisheries Harbour Centres and local authority harbours, support for the development of the seafood sector, funding for the state bodies including research and innovation facilities as well as for certain facilities and premises for my department itself and its state bodies.
