The Department of Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform’s (DPENDR) approach to updating National Development Plan (NDP) ceilings focussed on the years 2025 and 2026. This took place through bilateral engagements which commenced in Q1 2024.

These engagements mainly focussed on overall NDP funding for my Department and related expenditure sub-heads, with particular emphasis on requirements for key capital programmes, as follows:

• The Tourism Product Development Fund to further enhance Ireland’s tourism offering (subhead A.6)
• The National Cultural Institutions Capital Investment Programme, an important capital investment programme for cultural infrastructure. (B.7)
• Continued capital investment in Screen Ireland, which supports the production of audio-visual content in Ireland (B.12).
• Capital investment schemes by Údarás na Gaeltachta, including its Gaeltacht Ghlas programme (C.8)
• Funding for the 2023 round of the Community Sports Facilities Fund (previously Sports Capital and Equipment Programme) (D.3).
• Progressing projects in the Sport Ireland Campus Masterplan (D.5)
• Funding for a new round of the Large Scale Sport Infrastructure Fund (D.7)
• Continued capital investment in facilities by Teilifís na Gaeilge (E.5)
