My Department in its current configuration was established in September 2020.
In relation to capital projects being delivered or which have been completed by my Department, the details requested for the period since then are as follows:
Year | Capital Project | Cost to Date | Project Overspend | Project Status |
---|---|---|---|---|
Sept 2020 - 2025 | National Archives of Ireland Census | €1,235,123 | n/a | Ongoing |
Sept 2020 - 2025 | National Archives of Ireland redevelopment | €9,467,955 | n/a | Ongoing |
2024 | New grant management system | €103,675 | n/a | Ongoing |
My Department also supports a large number of capital projects through capital programmes that it operates, particularly on the Sport and Culture sectors. These are delivered by grantee organisations and information in respect of these programmes is available on my Department’s website.
