I am pleased to have negotiated funding of €2.180 billion under the National Development Plan (NDP) for major capital projects in the Justice sector from 2026-2030. This is an increase of some €800 million on the previous NDP in 2021.

The funding will be allocated to significantly increase prison capacity, invest in Garda stations, courthouses, the National Cyber Security Centre and for key technology projects for An Garda Síochána and the wider justice sector.

The record funding allocated under the NDP for the Justice sector will ensure the safety of our people and the security of the State.

The details of the specific projects to be funded will be published later in the year.
