Vol. 466 No. 5

Written Answers. - Transport Subsidies.

Noel Treacy

Question:

98 Mr. N. Treacy asked the Minister for the Environment the amount of transport subsidies paid to Ireland since accession to the European Community on 1 January 1973, in respect of his Department, and the heads, subheads, Votes and Appropriations in Aid in relation thereto and also in respect of the agencies under the aegis of his Department; the contribution, if any, which these subsidies have made to the mobility of people; the effects, if any, they have had on services; the economic advantage of these subsidies; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11845/96]

No such subsidies are paid to my Department in respect of projects for which the Department or its agencies is responsible. EU capital assistance has been provided since Ireland joined the European Community in respect of road projects but such assistance accrues directly to the Exchequer rather than to my Department.
