Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 23 October 2024
77. Deputy Martin Browne asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform if dates for the mid-term review of the National Development Plan 2021-2030 have been set; if not, when a date is likely to be set; if there will be a public consultation process to allow submissions; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe National Development Plan 2021-30 (NDP) setting out €165 billion of capital investment was published in 2021. Following the conclusion of more than 30 bilateral meetings which took place from January to March this year with my Ministerial colleagues, the distribution of an additional €2.25 billion from windfall corporate receipts for the period 2024-26 was agreed by Government. Updated NDP allocations for each sector were subsequently published in March 2024.
The Government has not yet set a date for a mid-term review of the NDP. At that time the process for undertaking any such review will be made known. As with previous NDP reviews, it is likely that a public consultation will form part of the approach and stakeholders will be invited to make submissions.
