Capital expenditure allocations by Ministerial Vote Group for the years 2018-2022 were published in Annex 1 of the National Development Plan (NDP). As detailed in Annex 1, capital expenditure will increase by €1.5 billion between 2018 and 2019. These ceilings were reflected in the 2018 Summer Economic Statement.

Details of the projects to be delivered by the totality of funding in 2019 are contained in the NDP, but further details are available from the relevant Departments. 

This plan includes many new projects and programmes which were not listed in the last plan published in 2015, for example the M20 Cork to Limerick road, the New Hospital for Cork, BusConnects Programmes for Cork, Dublin and Galway and a major investment programme across the cultural institutions, to name a few. While some projects may have been signaled previously, they are now set out in the long-term funding framework of the NDP required for their delivery.

A major capital projects tracker was published in September 2017 on the website of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.  This tracker is currently being updated following the launch of the NDP and the updated version will be published shortly.
