Over the period 1997-2006, Exchequer capital grants totalling over €70m have been paid to Dublin Bus in respect of bus purchases and over €240m to Iarnród Éireann in respect of DART Upgrade works. The funding to Dublin Bus is in addition to the funding provided by the Company from its own resources for the purchase of buses.
