176. To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he will provide table 3.1 on page 19 of the National Development Plan 2018-2027 in millions rather than billions of euro; if the capital figure included in pre-committed expenditure in table 6 of the Summer Economic Statement is the difference between the NDP allocation in that year and the allocation in the previous year; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Deputy can find the equivalent Exchequer expenditure figures in millions contained in Annex 1, on page 104 of the National Development Plan (NDP), out to 2022. 

Government has made a €91 billion Exchequer allocation to deliver the NDP priorities over the full duration of the plan, as explained by Table 3.1. As I have not yet finalised individual Department allocations beyond 2022, it would not be meaningful to provide a higher degree of granularity than that already published for the post 2022 period.

I can confirm that the pre-committed figures contained in Table 6 of the Summer Economic Statement represent a combination of current and capital expenditure and that the capital element shown is the NDP increases.
