Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Revised) (29 Jun 2016) Robert Troy: I welcome the Minister and his officials to the meeting.

- Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Estimates for Public Services 2016
Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Revised) (29 Jun 2016) Robert Troy: I understand 22% of the overall budget is derived from motor tax receipts.

The Minister is correct that it is extremely important that both are funded. Given our geography, we have major road infrastructure that needs to be maintained and requires a high level of funding. We also need to increase funding for...
