The capital allocations for my Department for the years 2024 and 2025 are €1.021 million and €768.1 million respectively. A breakdown of capital funding allocated in 2024 and 2025 is provided in the table below.

Programme Title


2024 CapitalAllocation€000


2025 CapitalAllocation€000
A - Climate Action and Environment Leadership 79,415 82,030
B - Energy Transformation 479,660 631,687
C - Circular Economy Development 53,181 54,393
Connectivity and Communications Delivery 408,918 0
Gross Total 1,021,174 768,110
The reduction in capital allocation in 2025 compared to 2024 is due to the recent transfer of the Communications and Cyber Security functions from my Department to the Department of Culture, Communications and Sport, and Department of Justice, respectively. Excluding the impact of the transfer, the 2025 capital allocation represents a 25% increase over last year’s estimate for my Department.
