The Department of Culture, Communications and Sport has today published its Sectoral Plan under the National Development Plan (NDP) Review identifying capital projects and programmes which will be progressed over the period 2026 – 2030. A review of the National Development Plan was carried out across Government in 2025. On foot of this process, a revised National Development Plan was published in July. This plan recognises that to invest in infrastructure and address the infrastructure deficit is the best way to safeguard our economy, drive growth and opportunity, protect jobs, increase competitiveness and ensure prosperity for our people and communities. This is particularly so at a time of growing international uncertainty.
In line with the Programme for Government, a review of the NDP was completed in July this year. As part of that review, €2.22 billion was allocated for capital investment to the Department of Culture, Communications and Sport for the period 2026 – 2030.
The revised NDP sets out sectoral capital allocations of over €100 billion for the 2026-2030 period. Within this, a total NDP allocation of €2.22 billion is allocated to the Department of Culture, Communications and Sport (D/CCS) for the period 2026-2030.
- Construction of National Velodrome and Badminton Centre, new National Cricket Centre, redevelopment of the National Archives and Crawford Art Gallery among key capital projects in Department’s Sectoral National Development Plan (NDP)
- Government’s NDP Review represents the largest ever capital injection in the economy in the history of the State
