The quality bus network office and the local authorities are progressing the delivery of some 18 separate bus priority schemes in the greater Dublin area during the course of 2005 and into 2006. These schemes, costing an estimated €47.05 million, have been approved by the DTO traffic management committee.

The following table sets out the itemised list of projects as it currently stands. The completion date of individual projects will depend on the pace of design work and the outcome of public consultation and tender processes. In addition to the projects listed in the table, it should be noted that the local authorities and the QBN office have been progressing QBC schemes which were planned prior to 2005. The main schemes include the N11, Foxrock-Bray; Howth; the Ballymun extension; Swords; Grange Castle Parkway; the Belgard Fonthill orbital route; and Nangor Road-south Clondalkin.
