Given the nature of my Department's role, the purpose of the capital investment undertaken by the Department, and the Office of Government Procurement therein, is to deliver greater effectiveness and efficiency across the Civil and Public Service.  While all counties ultimately benefit from my Department’s reform plans by delivering a more effective Civil and Public Service, this limited capital expenditure is primarily invested in IT systems that are developed and maintained in the Department's Dublin offices.
