Departmental Funding
Dail Éireann — 2022-10-06
============================================================

Jim O'Callaghan (FF), Dublin Bay South

The budget last week was a very good one, from the Minister's Department's point of view. I commend the Minister and the Government on increasing funding for the Department. As has been mentioned previously by both Deputies Richmond and Griffin, one of the most positive aspects of that was the increase in capital funding by €35 million, bringing the total capital fund up to €176 million. Noting what the Minister stated in his previous answer, what does he regard as a priority when it comes to investment in capital projects? Although it is a large amount of money, equipment and other things cost vast amounts as well, so we have to choose.
