Following publication of the 2007 Book of Estimates, which set out the overall provision available for compensation to CIÉ in respect of its public service obligation, my Department and CIE determined the allocation of the provision for each of the three CIÉ companies, taking into account the needs of each company and plans for the expansion of services. The compensation is not broken down by route, area or types of passenger traffic.
