The below are the Revised Estimates allocations for capital investment in rail transport in relation to the years 2023 and 2024:

My Department allocates funding for capital investment in the heavy rail network both to the National Transport Authority, for projects such as DART+ and the Cork Area Commuter Rail programme, and directly to Iarnród Éireann, primarily for the Infrastructure Manager Multi-Annual Contract that provides the funding framework for the maintenance and renewal of railway infrastructure.
