The funding allocation for B5 Public Transport Investment for 2022 is €780.06m and is available to view on gov.ie - The Revised Estimates Volumes for the Public Service (www.gov.ie).
Capital funding in 2022 will be allocated to the following programmes: accessibility retrofit programme; bus programme; heavy rail investment; infrastructure manager multi-annual contract (heavy rail); light rail (Luas and Metro); and the ticketing and technology programme.
