Under the revised 2021-30 National Development Plan (NDP), the Defence 2024 capital allocation of €176 million has increased to €215 million in 2025, a level of increase which has brought the Defence allocation to its highest ever level.

This level of capital funding will enable continued investment in the renewal and replacement of Defence Forces equipment and infrastructure to ensure that the Defence Forces have the ongoing capability to undertake the roles assigned by Government, both at home and overseas, while also enabling the transformation of the Defence Forces in line with the objectives and timeframes set out in the Detailed Implementation Plan for the Report of the Commission on the Defence Forces.
