The National Development Plan sets out a high-level financial and budgetary framework, which includes indicative Exchequer allocations, for each Ministerial Vote Group, over a five-year period from 2018 to 2022. The indicative allocations provided for my Department in the Plan are set out in the following table:
| 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 | 2022 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| €555m | €620m | €630m | €640m | €715m |
The precise budgetary Ministerial capital ceilings for the years 2019 to 2022 and beyond will be determined as part of the relevant annual estimates processes.
As regards Science Foundation Ireland the Revised Estimates Volume 2018 as published by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform allocated a total of €166.75 million in capital funding to Science Foundation Ireland for 2018. As advised the capital allocations for Science Foundation Ireland for 2019 and beyond will be determined as part of the relevant annual estimates processes.
