National Development Plan
Dail Éireann — 2023-10-26
============================================================

Paschal Donohoe (FG), Dublin Central

The process for that tends to be that Ministers and their Departments identify any individual project, particularly high-profile projects, that may be affected by the impact of inflation and some of the other factors the Deputy has touched on. In the past year or so, we still managed to make progress on the majority of such individual projects, moving some of them to construction, a number through the planning process, and others through the business case evaluation process within my Department and the parent Department that sponsors individual projects.
Up to this point, my sense is we have managed to make progress on the majority of bigger stand-alone projects. If the Deputy has any particular project where he feels this is not the case, I am sure he will raise it with me now or at another point.
