Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 September 2024
412. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the capital works scheduled to be carried out in national parks under the remit of his Department between now and the end of 2025, in tabular form. [36823/24]
View answerThe National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS), is funded as part of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage Vote – Vote 34. Capital allocations for 2025 are therefore generally not available in advance of the Budget and the confirmation of funding availability for 2025 for the entire Department.
The attached table sets out a list of capital works projects to which funding was allocated in 2024. The majority of these projects are expected to complete in 2024. However, it should be noted that some projects may ultimately be deferred or delayed until 2025 for reasons not related to funding, for example, weather-related conditions. It is expected that additional works will be scheduled as the year progresses.
