Responses to your questions are detailed below:
The initial Programme cost per the Full Business Case was £375m.
Total Programme spend to date (to end May 2026) is £152.7m.
The remaining projected cost is currently being reviewed, taking account of the planned delivery programme and associated cost profiles through to completion.
No spend within the last three financial years has been incurred from the main DE capital budget. 2023/24 capital spend was funded from Fresh Start Agreement earmarked capital budget and both 2024/25 and 2025/26 capital spend was funded from the Northern Ireland Executive earmarked Strule capital budget.
