View answerI can advise the Deputy that the following capital projects were completed in the last five years within budget in Galway:
|
Year |
Project Name |
Cost incl. VAT |
|
2025 |
Renmore Barracks, Urgent Safety Electrical Works |
€441,152.28 |
|
2024 |
Renmore Barracks, USAC Building |
€11,398,755.27 |
|
2024 |
New Shower & Changing Facility (Renmore) |
€564,254.11 |
In addition, 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 €13.5 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.
