The most recent version of the capital investment tracker was released on 18 May 2022. Previous editions of the tracker were published in September 2017, September 2018, May 2019, January 2020, December 2020 and October 2021. The Tracker is drawn from data provided by relevant Government Departments and agencies. It focuses mainly on projects and programmes with costs greater than €20 million. This data is a snapshot in time and is current as of May 2022. Management and delivery of the projects and programmes are a matter for the Sponsoring Agency and Approving Authority in each case. The May 2022 update of the tracker provides progress updates on over 270 projects and 140 programmes, including almost 100 projects in excess of €50m, and incorporates user-friendly dashboards to aid in using the material.

The MyProjectIreland interactive map was launched in May 2019 alongside the first Project Ireland 2040 Annual Report. Developed in collaboration with Ordnance Survey Ireland, citizens can find updated information on the map on what has been achieved and what is planned for their own local area and includes user-friendly mobile and search functionality. The May 2022 update expands the coverage of the map to incorporate over 1,100 projects.

The Government is committed to continue to detail the delivery of the National Development Plan at regular intervals into the future to allow for full transparency on the implementation of Project Ireland 2040. This will be achieved through regular updates of the capital tracker and map as well as the publication of annual reports and regional reports highlighting Project Ireland 2040 achievements and giving a detailed overview of the public investments which have been made throughout the country.
