Capital expenditure allocations by Ministerial Vote Group for the years 2018-2022 were published in Annex 1 of the National Development Plan (NDP). These ceilings were reflected in the 2019 Summer Economic Statement. Capital allocations for individual votes within these Vote Groups for 2019 will be published in Budget 2019.

The €1.5 billion in additional capital expenditure, as detailed in the NDP, is set out in tabular format below.
