There are a total of 36 State agencies under the aegis of my Department. The total operating funding, excluding capital funding, provided to the State agencies by my Department in 2007 was €407,502,715. Some 10 State agencies received this funding and the amounts provided in each case are set out in the table below.
The remainder of the agencies, including the 20 port companies and harbour authorities, the aviation and airport authorities and the taxi and aviation regulators, are self-financing through charging for services provided.
It is my intention to subsume the Dublin Transportation Office and the Commission for Taxi Regulation into the Dublin Transport Authority.
I am, of course, always prepared to keep structures and agencies continuously under review, to ensure optimal efficiencies and best fit with my Department's strategic agenda.
