View answerMy Department is making €27 million available for quality bus corridor, QBC, development in 2004 and will continue to prioritise QBC roll out in 2005. However, the sections of new QBCs that will actually be completed in 2004 depend on the outcome of public consultation and tender processes, while 2005 project plans await ratification by the relevant local authorities in the autumn of this year. I will be making an announcement on the issue in the coming weeks and will then arrange to have the details forwarded to the Deputy.
