The Department receives a contribution from the Local Government Fund, which is derived from Motor Tax receipts, as an Appropriation in Aid every year. This AinA partially funds the expenditure programmes for Roads and Public Transport with the balance funded directly from the Exchequer. In 2015, the LGF contribution to my Vote is estimated to be €376.4m, which will part fund expenditure programmes for Roads (at €728.5m), including for repairing roads and footpaths, and for Public Transport (at €271m).
