The National Development Plan 2021 - 2030
sets out Departmental allocations to 2025 and a total public investment of €165 billion over the period 2021-2030. As set out in the Summer Economic Statement (SES) 2023, an additional €2.25 billion of capital funding was made available to be allocated in the 2024 to 2026 period. Allocation of this additional funding was agreed in March 2024. This funding will facilitate the progression of important projects and enable more rapid development of key Programme for Government commitments, such as the delivery of actions to fulfil our climate action plan commitments, the provision of more housing and enhanced education facilities. It is estimated that an annual average of up to approximately 47,000 direct and 33,000 indirect construction jobs will be sustained over the course of the NDP.
