Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 April 2024
246. Deputy Rose Conway-Walsh asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform to provide the capital allocation ceiling for the Office of Public Works for 2024, 2025 and 2026; the capital ceilings or projects for the annual priority reserve for 2024, 2025, and 2026; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16229/24]
View answerOn foot of the completion of the NDP Review, the OPW Capital ceilings are as follows:
2024: €288m
2025: €320m
2026: €340m
The annual priority reserve was included in the National Development Plan 2021-30 and is not specific to the Office of Public Works nor to any particular Department or project. Allocations from the annual reserve were used to allocate funding for emerging new investment priorities in each of the annual Estimates processes from 2022 to 2024. The level of funding and projects for the remaining annual priority reserve in 2025 will be considered in advance of the Estimates process for 2025 later this year.
