National Development Plan
Dail Éireann — 2021-09-23
============================================================

Michael McGrath (FF), Cork South-Central

The additional €1.1 billion in capital for 2022 outlined in the summer economic statement will be allocated as part of the capital ceilings that will be published in the review of the NDP. The detail of exactly what the Departments of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Health, Transport and so on for next year and for every year out to 2025 will be confirmed when the review is published and the ceilings are set out.
I thank Deputies Cahill and O'Sullivan for raising a number of specific projects they are passionate about and have been lobbying for in the course of the review of the NDP. As they will understand, the selection of individual projects is generally made by the line Department, which then provides material to us in the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, where we have overall responsibility for co-ordinating and pulling together the revised NDP and setting the ceilings. I have nonetheless taken note of the issues they raised and acknowledge they have raised them with the line Minister as well.
