The Expenditure Review on CIÉ subvention was published and presented to the Houses of the Oireachtas in November, 2007. The purpose of the review was to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of the subvention paid to CIÉ over the period 2001 — 2005. A cost and efficiency review of both Dublin Bus and Bus Éireann has commenced and it expected that a final report will be received in the autumn.

A value for Money and Policy Review of the Traffic Management Grants Scheme was completed and has been available in the Oireachtas library and on my Department's website since April 2008. My views on the Review are contained in the Department's response to the Review Report and accompany the Report itself.

The review of the 2nd Railway Safety Programme under the Government's Value for Money and Policy Review Initiative is now reaching an advanced stage and it is anticipated that a report will be finalised by the Steering Committee overseeing the review by next month. Until the review is completed, I would be premature to anticipate the outcome.
