As part of the National Development Plan (NDP) 2025 review, I secured a capital allocation for my Department amounting to €4.55 billion over the 2026 to 2030 period.
Following the outcome of the 2025 NDP Review, my Department developed and published in December 2025, a Sectoral Plan for the tertiary sector for the period 2026 – 2030, aligned with the Department's capital ceiling and the objectives of the NDP.
This plan provides the framework for capital investment planning across the higher and further education and research sectors, including the identification of priority projects already in the pipeline as well as new initiatives commencing from 2026.
As requested, please find attached confirmation of the capital funding which issued to SOLAS in 2025 and the proposed 2026 capital budget allocation in tabular form.
