- Departmental Expenditure. (5 Nov 2009)
Fergus O'Dowd: The Deputy should allow me to conclude. Is it not a fact that subsidy increased from â¬18.9 million in 2000 to â¬82.9 million in 2008? The number of buses on the road remained more or less the same during that period, but over 200,000 houses were built in the greater Dublin area. The bus network was not adequate to meet the needs of the increasing population. It is absolutely imperative...
