2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport

Mr. Graham Doyle:

If the costs were substantial and could not be met within the budget it has, it would certainly need to make a case to bring in the services it was proposing in relation to the backfill. I am sorry to be giving the Deputy a figure of the top of my head, but in relation to the X5 and X7, my recollection is the cost was something of the order of €1.5 million. It was a relatively small cost to extend services and they were quite substantial routes.
