I can confirm that the Department of Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht had no capital projects with contracts valued in excess of €5 million, which ran over cost in 2023.

During the time period referenced by the Deputy there were four bodies under the aegis of my Department - the Charities Regulator, Western Development Commission, Water Safety Ireland, and Pobal. These bodies have each confirmed that they did not have any capital projects with contracts in excess of €5 million for the period concerned.
