Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 14 July 2016
267. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the level of borrowings his Department and the various semi-State agencies under his remit have undertaken for infrastructural and capacity improvement; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21890/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department does not borrow funds. Its gross expenditure provision for 2016 of over €1.7bn is derived solely from our allocation under Vote 31 of the Revised Estimates for Public Services. A large portion of the funding is allocated to Agencies and Public Bodies under my remit. I have forwarded the Deputy's question to those individual bodies for their direct response in relation to borrowings, where such borrowings may exist. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
