Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 September 2018
668. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if funding for the proposed changes to the Dublin Bus network is inclusive of the cost of changes to the physical infrastructure which would result as a consequence of developing orbital routes throughout the city.

View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that BusConnects involves a blend of infrastructure and system improvement measures alongside a reconfigured bus network. The initiative aims to transform the current bus system in the Dublin Region.
This programme is part of a wider BusConnects programme for Ireland’s cities, starting in Dublin and rolling out to Galway, Cork and Ireland’s remaining cities.
The estimated cost of the initiative is €2.4 billion, and is inclusive of all costings for changes to physical infrastructure.
