The information sought by the Deputy concerning commissioned reports is set out in the following table. Other reports including, for example, the Department's annual report, and air and rail accident investigation reports, are prepared internally. A second report of the railway safety task force, chaired by the Department, was commissioned in 2002. It was prepared internally and is under consideration in the context of the proposed public transport ten-year investment plan.
| Nature of Report | Date Commissioned | Publication Date | Total Cost |
| Review and Development of Investment Appraisal and Monitoring Systems | November, 2004 | Within next few weeks (following completion) | â'¬122,000 (ex VAT) |
| Review of delays and increased costs of the Glen of the Downs Road Improvement Project (N11) | September, 2004 | July, 2005 | â'¬35,000 |
| Report on an appropriate fares system for Dublin and related issues regarding integration of fare systems on different modes eg. bus and rail | 2002 | The subject of the report is still under consideration as it is part of the wider public transport reform agenda which is subject to ongoing consultation. A date for publication has therefore not been set. | â'¬154,000 |
