Amharc ar fhreagraOn 24 July, 2012, the Government decided to provide additional Public Service Obligations (PSO) funding of €36 million to CIE. Funding for such services is made available through my Department's Vote 31, by way of a payment to the National Transport Authority ( NTA). This was funded in part by a reallocation of funding of €30.8m from the capital expenditure programme to current expenditure.
