Funding of Euro 11 million is being provided by my Department for the Rural Transport Programme in 2009, an increase of Euro 1 million on the outturn for 2008. This will maintain the existing level of service for this year.

Funding for the Programme beyond 2009 will be considered in the context of the Estimates process for 2010.
