3031. Deputy Albert Dolan asked the Minister for Children, Disability and Equality further to PQ62752/26, the breakdown of each project by location, description, approved capital budget, expenditure in 2026 to date (details supplied); the expected construction commencement date where works have not commenced; the expected completion date; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [62753/26]

The Department of Children, Disability and Equality provides funding to the, HSE, to deliver specialist disability services either directly or via Section 38 and Section 39 voluntary sector organisations.

While the Department sets the strategy, policy direction and the overall allocation for the disability sector, funding allocations to individual service providers and capital projects, is an operational matter for the HSE as the funding authority, on behalf of the State. In 2026, the Department’s overall funding allocation for Disability Capital Projects associated with the provision of specialist disability services is €43m. As this question refers to operational matters, I have asked the Health Service Executive (HSE) to respond to the Deputy directly.
