It was announced in the mid-term review of the 2015 Capital Plan that a Consultative Forum would take place with key stakeholders, to provide an opportunity to discuss and comment on the analysis of the review of the Capital Plan and to discuss a range of topics related to the National Development Plan. The Forum was an important input into the preparation of the NDP.

The Forum was held in the Motor House Conference Room, Farmleigh on 8 November 2017. It was attended by 36 stakeholder representatives, including Government Departments, Regional Assemblies, business and farming organisations, the trades union sector, social groups and the environmental sector.

The total cost associated with the event came to €583.74.

Apart from this, my Department has not hosted any other seminars on the NDP or Project Ireland 2040.
