Amharc ar fhreagraArea Development Management Limited, ADM, which administers the rural transport initiative, RTI, on behalf of my Department, is currently concluding a comprehensive appraisal of the scheme. Among other things, the appraisal will measure the effectiveness of the RTI in addressing the transport needs of rural Ireland and in providing value for money. The appraisal will be completed shortly and I will then consider its findings in relation to the future of the initiative.
