Capital projects in the Justice Sector are undertaken, in the main, by bodies under the aegis of the Department of Justice and Equality rather than by the Department itself, or are managed by the Office of Public Works on behalf of the Department and its Agencies.

I can confirm that there were no capital projects completed by my Department (that is, under Vote 24) in the period in question with a value in excess of €10 million. Therefore no such cost overruns were incurred by my Department.

I have requested that relevant agencies under the remit of my Department, and operating under a separate vote structure (An Garda Síochána, Irish Prison Service and Courts Service) respond directly to the Deputy.
