60. Deputy Colm Burke asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Defence to set out the amount of funding allocated to Defence Forces infrastructure for the years 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and to 31 May 2025, in tabular form; the number of projects completed, the number of projects under way; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31221/25]
View answerThe information sought by the Deputy is as follows.
Funding Allocation
• 2021 – €37m
• 2022 – €45m
• 2023 – €55m
• 2024 – €56m
• 2025 – €62.5m
The following projects listed below are the Capital Projects that are currently being managed by the Department. The Deputy may also wish to note that my Department also allocates funding each year to the Defence Forces for the maintenance, repair and upkeep of its building stock. This year a devolved budget of €12.5 million was assigned by my Department to the Defence Forces for these tasks. The individual prioritisation of specific projects to be carried out is solely a matter for the Defence Forces in keeping with the delegated nature of this budget.
