My Department has been funding QBC development since 2002, through the Dublin Transportation Office (DTO) Traffic Management Grants (TMG). I understand from the DTO that, since 1994, some €147.9m in total has been spent. The yearly breakdown, provided by the DTO, is as follows:

Year TMG Investment
1994 630,148
1995 349,305
1996 1,239,398
1997 1,501,734
1998 3,677,640
1999 8,597,873
2000 17,751,034
2001 23,402,016
2002 15,064,601
2003 18,578,764
2004 27,542,945
2005 29,543,963
Total 147,879,421

I have asked the DTO to breakdown these figures as between QBCs and other projects which qualify for grants under the Traffic Management Grants scheme and the information sought will be forwarded to the Deputy.
