The revised National Development Plan (NDP) published in October 2021 provided clarity on Departmental capital ceilings for the period 2022 – 2025.

The table below sets out the 2022 capital ceilings. It should be noted that in addition to the €256.5m set out, a further €0.5m and €1m have been allocated to SOLAS and the HEA respectively to meet agency capital costs. Carryover amounts from 2021 into 2022 are excluded from this table but are incorporated into expenditure plans as follows: HE capital: €22.2m, HE PPPs: €3m.

HE Capital €166m
HE PPPs €43m
FET Capital €47.5m
TOTAL €256.5m*
*The amount above includes up to €15m for shared ICT Infrastructure for the Higher Education Sector programme providing investment in the upgrade of ICT infrastructure and business applications for the higher education sector.
