My Department led on the launch of Project Ireland 2040 in Sligo and the four subsequent regional events in Galway, Limerick, Cork and Waterford.

A breakdown of costs associated with each of the regional events can be found in the table.

A number of strand launches were held in the first half of 2018; these were led and funded by the relevant line Department.

The responsibility for the communication of Project Ireland 2040 has now transitioned to the Project Ireland 2040 Delivery Board – led by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government.
