Progress in detailing the delivery of the NDP is monitored through regular updates of the Project Ireland 2040 capital investment tracker and MyProjectIreland interactive map viewer, which are publicly available at www.gov.ie/2040.

The capital investment tracker provides a composite update on the progress of all major investments with an estimated cost of greater than €20 million. This includes detail on the project type, fund source, location, status towards completion, expected year for completion and current lifecycle status of the project.

Accompanying the tracker, the myProjectIreland interactive map details projects across the country and provides details on specific projects by county, and contains smaller investments such as schools, healthcare facilities and social housing projects. Search facilities allow users to view projects in their regional area, by city, by county or by Eircode.

In addition, my Department also publishes the Project Ireland 2040 Annual Report and Regional Reports highlighting achievements and giving a detailed overview of the public investments that have been made throughout the country. These will provide the Deputy with even further detail on delivery under the NDP to date. These and other Project Ireland 2040 related documents can be found at www.gov.ie/2040 .

Furthermore, my Department also publishes the Prospects Report which sets out the pipeline for 50 large projects under the NDP with detailed information on tender stage to support construction firms in planning and delivery.

Additionally, over the end of 2025 and early 2026, individual Ministers developed sectoral level plans, for priority investment programmes and projects within their additional capital allocations under the revised NDP for delivery across the country. Considering sectoral needs and Ministerial decisions, these plans reflect Government priorities, including the National Planning Framework commitment to balanced regional development. The plans include planned investment and projects across the country and are available on each Departmental website.

In addition, Action 19 of the Accelerating Infrastructure Report and Action Plan calls for an ‘enhance[d] Infrastructure Coordination function in DPER’. Consequently, my Department takes a lead role in co-ordinating delivery across infrastructure across the system. As part of this work, my department coordinates updates from departments to the Cabinet Committee on Infrastructure on progress of major infrastructure projects across the critical sectors of health, transport, energy, housing and communications to support effective oversight and enhanced visibility of risks and interdependencies.

My Department is assessing the historic approach to data collection and public data reporting, to reflect the expanded allocations and ambition of the 2025 NDP Review. This work is focused on providing clarity of projects and procurement for the construction sector to facilitate them in their planning and delivery, and is being undertaken at the same time as the continued publication of data on projects.
