Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 February 2009
71 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Transport the degree to which that portion of the national development plan which is relevant to his Department is expected to proceed on target and within cost; the extent to which cost reduction has been identified to date; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5875/09]
View answerAll transport infrastructure projects identified for development under the National Development Plan are proceeding. A number of road and public transport projects have already been completed, others will be completed on or ahead of schedule this year and many more are under construction or at planning. The implementing State agencies have indicated to my Department that there is a general downward trend, in the cost of land purchases and procurement tenders in recent times.
