The capital allocation for my Department this year amounts to €54.3 million in total and is broken out across programme areas in the 2018 Revised Estimates published at www.chg.gov.ie/app/uploads/2015/07/2018rev.pdf.

The capital allocation for my Department in each of the years 2019 and 2020 is as follows:

-  €75 million in 2019;

-  €76 million in 2020;

The break out of capital allocations for these years has not yet been finalised as investments over the period are subject to appraisal and evaluation in line with the Public Spending Code.  The broad capital allocations for projects and programmes are set out in my Department’s 10 Year Plan, “Investing in our Culture, Language & Heritage 2018 – 2027”, published at www.chg.gov.ie/app/uploads/2018/04/capital_plan_april3-8.pdf.

More details on the individual projects and programmes will emerge as we go through the process of appraising, evaluating and planning for these important investments.  The final disaggregation will be completed as part of the annual Estimates process for each of the years in question.
