I propose to take Questions Nos. 74 to 76, inclusive, together.
An extract from Table 3.1, published in the National Development Plan (NDP) in 2018, is set out below for the Deputy’s information. The table sets out the Exchequer investment of €91 billion over the period of the NDP out to 2027. The Exchequer resource allocations are based on projected nominal growth rates in national income (GNI*) averaging 4% over the period 2022 – 2027.

Multi-annual investment allocations were published in Budget 2020 for each Department covering the period 2020 – 2022.

With regard to capital expenditure by my Department, due to the nature of its role, my Department has no State Infrastructure projects funded through its own Vote. The main purpose of capital projects and associated investment undertaken by my Department is to support greater effectiveness and efficiency across the Civil and Public Service through investing in ICT.
