Heavy rail infrastructural investments outside the GDA
The vast bulk of Exchequer funding to Iarnród Éireann for works outside the Greater Dublin Area (GDA) was allocated under the Railway Safety Programme (RSP) 2007-2013. This was provided on a network-wide programme basis rather than specifically allocated to any particular region. Under the RSP approximately €100m has been spent annually on renewing and maintaining the entire railway network. Apart from the RSP there were some smaller-scale infrastructure programmes, such as the Road-Crossing Automation Programme and the installation of Automatic Ticket Vending Machines programme. For the 2014-2018 period, funding for the Iarnród Éireann renewals and maintenance programme comes under the Infrastructure Manager Multi-Annual Contract (IMMAC).
Details of the regional and local road grant payments to Mayo County Council, including lists of projects, are outlined in the regional and local road grant payment booklets which are available in the Dáil Library. Details of the 2014 regional and local road grant allocations and projects to each county council are also available in the Dáil library.
With regard to national roads, details of the allocations, including lists of projects, to each local authority are also available in the Dáil library. However, details of the actual drawdown of funding for these roads is a matter for the National Roads Authority (NRA). I have referred your query to the NRA for direct reply. Please advise my office if you have not received a response within ten days.
Similarly, allocations under the Tourism Product Development Scheme, administered by Fáilte Ireland, are a matter for the board of Fáilte Ireland. I have referred the Deputy's query to Fáilte Ireland for direct reply. Will he please advise my office if he has not received a response within ten days.
