Question 311: To ask the Minister for Transport the number of capital projects in his Department that have incorporated the percentage for arts scheme and the number that did not include the percentage for arts scheme for the past three years; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The following projects incorporated the percentage for arts scheme during the period in question: refurbishment of 59 Dawson Street for occupancy by Department of Transport staff; modernisation of seven coastal unit station houses; and 20 road project schemes. The percentage for arts scheme was not included in ten other roads projects, the CIE projects funded by my Department nor in the Luas red and green lines. Expenditure in respect of State and regional airports over the period in question did not provide an opportunity for the public display of artwork. However, the development of terminal two at Dublin Airport will facilitate the display of art work and consideration is also being given to the new facilities at Cork Airport.
