I propose to take Questions Nos. 245 and 246 together.

My Department has not previously had any capital projects over the value indicated by the Deputy’s office (€5 million). Similarly, the Department has no capital investment planned in projects over this value.

Due to the nature of its role, my Department does not have any major capital projects. The main purpose of the capital investment undertaken by my Department is to deliver greater effectiveness and efficiency across the Civil and Public Service, primarily through the development of cross-government ICT systems.
