My Department, which was established in 2017, utilises capital funding to promote rural and community development and support sustainable communities.

The majority of capital funding is routed through Local Authorities who directly deliver projects utilising this funding.

I can confirm that my Department, and the agencies under my remit, have not directly procured or delivered any capital project which ended up costing €10 million or more in the period in question.
