We will request that information, along with the clarification sought by Deputy Carthy on the increase in asset value.

No. 870B isfrom Mr. Ken Spratt, Secretary General, Department of Transport, dated 05 November 2021 providing information requested by the committee regarding detailed notes of expenditure. As set out in the correspondence expenditure for the MetroLink from March 2018 to October 2021 is €70 million, expenditure for DART+ from 2016 to October 2021 is €41.3 million, and expenditure for BusConnects from 2018 to 2020 is €76.7 million. The all-Ireland strategic rail review is to be completed by quarter 2, 2020, which is the information sought by Deputy Carthy. These matters are on the agenda for our meeting this morning with the Department of Transport. I understand Deputy Catherine Murphy wants to comment on this correspondence.
