210 Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the amount of funding received from the EU towards the cost of construction of new public transport and road projects in the years 2010, 2011 and to date in 2012; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerUnder the 2007-2013 Border Midlands and Western Regional Authority (BMW) Operational Programme of the European Regional Development Fund only 2 roads projects qualified for funding. These are the M6 Athlone-Ballinasloe motorway and N52 Tullamore bypass.
As the funding for these projects was channelled through the NRA, I have referred your question to them for direct response. If you do not hear them within 10 days please contact my private office.
In relation to public transport projects, €5.5m has been claimed to date from the Ten-T Multi-annual Programme 2007-2013 in respect of studies relating to the Dart Underground project.
