The Defence Forces Built Infrastructural Programme 2020-2025 was published in January 2020. This Programme, which is a 5 year plan, provides a blueprint for investment in the Defence Forces built infrastructure over a multi annual timeframe. Over the course of the Programme it is projected that some € 145m will be allocation to ensure programme delivery.

The upgrade of Block H in McKee Barracks is provided for in the Plan. The procurement process for this project is now well advanced and it is intended that the works will commence in 2021.
