Ceist:241 Mr. Crawford asked the Minister for Transport, Energy and Communications the total Government expenditure on rail and bus transport in the past five years.
Written Answers. - Transport Expenditure.
I assume that the Deputy is referring to the annual Exchequer subvention paid to Coras Iompair Éireann.
The total Government subvention to CIE over the past five years (i.e. 1989-1993) was £545,609,000. The subvention for each year was:—
|
£000 |
|
|
1989 |
109,854 |
|
1990 |
111,000 |
|
1991 |
107,469 |
|
1992 |
108,230 |
|
1993 |
109,056 |
The annual subvention is based on the requirements of CIE as a whole and its allocation in support of particular services in particular areas is a matter for the CIE Group.
