As the Deputy will be aware, capital allocations for 2021 were set out in the Revised Estimate Volume and referred to the relevant Select Committees by the Dáil on the 16^thof December 2020 (see Departmental capital allocations for 2021 in the table below). Indicative overall expenditure ceilings for 2022 and 2023 were also laid in the Oireachtas Library in 2020, pursuant to the requirement in the Ministers and Secretaries (Amendment) Act 2013, for the Government to decide on a Government Expenditure Ceiling for the following three financial years.

As you will be aware, I have commenced a review of the National Development Plan (NDP) which is currently being progressed. The review will focus on how Project Ireland 2040 can further support the delivery of the policy priorities in the Programme for Government. The NDP Review will also focus on balanced regional growth and alignment with Ireland's spatial strategy.

The review will also establish agreed capital allocations for Departments over a five year rolling period and set the overall capital aggregate allocations over a ten year period.
