I propose to take Questions Nos. 548 and 549 together.
My Department’s capital allocation is split across three subheads i.e. A.2.v Office Equipment and External IT Services, A.2.vi Office Premises Expenses and A.2.ix eGovernment Related Projects.
In relation to 2019 it is intended that the allocation will primarily assist the Department in delivering additional IT modernisation (e.g. on implementing online services and changes to pension schemes consequent to the implementation of the TCA approach) and allow for the refurbishment of the Department’s buildings. The capital projects are agreed with the Office of Public Works (OPW) annually on the basis of the Departments requirements and the OPW available capacity and resources.
My Department’s specific 2019 capital projects have not been finalised.
