Written answers

Minister for Transport (Deputy Noel Dempsey)

The Exchequer capital amount currently allocated from my Department's Estimate for 2009 in respect of the Kildare Route Project is €60m.

I understand that excellent progress has been made to date on the Kildare Route Project and that it is expected to finish on time and on budget in early 2010, with services commencing shortly thereafter.
