Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 April 2018
1205. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the amount of funding received from the EU in each year since 2000 to date for the purposes of specifically assisting the provision of transport infrastructure such as rail, ports, roads and airports; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15798/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraIreland has received EU funding for transport infrastructure projects from a range of EU funding programmes since 2000, not limited to the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), now considered to be the principal EU co-funding mechanism for transport infrastructure. As my Department is not responsible for the administration of all EU funding for such projects, I have referred the Deputy's question to the agencies under my remit for direct reply in respect of EU funding which they each has received since 2000. Please advise my private office if you do not receive replies within 10 working days.
Details of EU funding directly administered by the Department are being collated and will be communicated directly to the Deputy.
Details in relation to Irish transport projects under CEF, Horizon 2020 and under Trans-European Network-Transport before the current CEF programme are available online at the following link: https://ec.europa.eu/inea/en/connecting-europe-facility/cef-transport/projects-by-country/ireland.
