Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 3 April 2007
134 Mr. Howlin asked the Minister for Transport if he will outline in each case the way the public service obligation payment for 2007 for Iarnród Éireann, Bus Éireann and Dublin Bus was arrived at; the specific routes, areas, passenger profile and other category on which the PSO applies; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12645/07]
View answerFollowing publication of the 2007 Book of Estimates, which set out the overall provision available for compensation to CIÉ in respect of its public service obligation, my Department and CIE determined the allocation of the provision for each of the three CIÉ companies, taking into account the needs of each company and plans for the expansion of services. The compensation is not broken down by route, area or types of passenger traffic.
