Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 April 2015
701. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the total subvention provided to Córas Iompair Éireann for each of the past ten years, with a breakdown of the amount allocated to each of its companies, each year. [15820/15]
View answerSince 2010 there is no subvention paid directly by my Department for public transport services. The award of Public Service Obligation (PSO) contracts falls under the independent statutory remit of the National Transport Authority (NTA), which has direct responsibility for this area. The total Public Service Obligation (PSO) subvention provided to CIE by both this Department and the NTA (since 2010) in the years 2005 to 2014 is as follows:
