From January 2006 to October 2007, total Exchequer expenditure on Transport 21 projects was €3,476.4 million. Transport 21 is a ten-year financial framework that identifies a number of key transport projects to be completed in each of the years from 2006 to 2015. Significant progress has been made in all of the sectors covered by the framework and all of the implementing agencies are now geared up to deliver on the programme.

All of the major projects included in Transport 21 are being progressed and are at various stages of the planning and implementation process. A number of projects have already been completed, others are at various stages of construction, some have begun the statutory planning process while many more are at design, planning and public consultation stage.
