Notes
This is a composite capital bid in respect of essential maintenance across National Museums sites.
This bid will cover inescapable pressures related to the North West Sporting Village and the North West Boxing programme.
Other elements within City of Culture Legacy are provided for in this bid.
DCAL supported the Carl Frampton event in the expectation the Executive would provide funding.
This bid relates specifically to a joint DCAL/DE programme designed to deliver positive educational outcomes as part of City of Culture Legacy.
This bid covers a shortfall in the depreciation budget. The pressure has arisen across a number of the Department’s Arm’s Length Bodies.
