Question:

56. Deputy Darren O'Rourke asked the Minister for Transport the estimated cost in 2024 if the budget for the National Transport Authority Connecting Ireland Rural Mobility Plan increased by 50%. [43643/23]

Written answers

Minister for Transport

I wish to advise the Deputy that the allocation for the Connecting Ireland Rural Mobility Plan in 2023 is €8.35 million.

This is the confirmed allocation for this year, and any percentage increases over whatever timeframe, using whatever basis, may be calculated from it. However, I would caution that whatever calculations the Deputy might use, such figures would only be speculative.  Future funding levels are subject to the annual Estimate and Budgetary processes.
