Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 May 2013
700. Deputy John Paul Phelan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will provide details of projects which were included in Ireland's response to the most recent call for applications for EU Ten-T transport capital funding support; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerFunding applications under the Ten-T 2012 Calls are required to be for either Works or Studies. In relation to transport, proposals for both Studies and Works pertaining to railway infrastructure were submitted by my Department. In addition, proposals were also submitted directly by Dublin, Cork and Shannon Foynes port companies, which I was happy to endorse. These proposals are presently being independently evaluated by the Ten-T Executive Agency in Brussels and it is anticipated that the TEN-T Executive Agency will publish their final decisions later this year.
