Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 March 2018
867. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport further to Parliamentary Question No. 467 of 8 March 2018, the reason six of the seven projects have no Exchequer funding allocation; and the sources and share of non-EU funding of each project. [12739/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe only Exchequer co-funded project listed in my response of 8 March 2018 was the Irish Rail City-Centre Resignalling project.
In relation to the remaining 6 projects, 5 relate to ports and 1 to Gas Networks Ireland. In the case of Ports, under National Ports Policy, Exchequer funding is not provided to port companies for development works. The projects listed are being funded through CEF grants, own resources and borrowings. In the case of Gas Networks Ireland, the project was funded through the Gas Innovation Fund (through allowable customer revenue), National University of Ireland own resources and CEF grants.
