The Department of Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform has a very modest capital allocation of less than €700,000 for 2024. At the end of February no capital funding had been expended, which is similar to the position at end-February 2023.
On a Vote group basis, capital expenditure amounted to just under €34 million at end-February 2024, compared to capital expenditure of over €18 million covering the same period in 2023. The Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform Group consists of the Department itself, the National Shared Services Office, the Office of Government Procurement, the Office of Public Works, the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer and the Public Appointments Service. The Vote Group allocation for 2024 is €323 million, with the majority of this allocation provided to the Office of Public Works (€288 million total in 2024).
