What way funding for the implementation of Transport 21 will be allocated

Date: 07 March 2006

Dáil Question No: 116        To ask the Minister for Transport the way in which funding for the implementation of Transport 21 will be allocated; and if he will make a statement on the matter. - Billy Timmins.

 

Response
by the Minister for Transport
(Martin Cullen) 

The basis for Transport 21 is a ten-year capital envelope agreed with the Minister for Finance. This envelope comprises an agreed annual provision for Exchequer and PPP expenditure over each of the ten years based on a combination of project – specific allocations for major infrastructure works and global allocations for certain areas of expenditure like traffic management. Each year annual allocations are made from the provision for that year, either in the form of global allocations to bodies like the National Roads Authority (for national road improvements) or project - specific allocations.
