I have no plans to reduce the Euro 11 million allocation for the Rural Transport Programme in 2009. Arrangements for the provision of services funded under the Programme are matters for individual rural community transport groups. Funding for the Programme in 2010 and subsequent years will be considered in the course of the Estimates process, having regard to the overall availability of resources.
