I propose to take Questions Nos. 317 and 318 together.

The only new agency or office established under the aegis of the Department of Transport since 2007 is the National Transport Authority, which was established on 1st December 2009. The Authority absorbed the Dublin Transportation Office and is due to absorb the Commission for Taxi Regulation by year end.

The Department funds the general administrative expenses of the National Transport Authority and the provision in the 2010 revised estimates as published is €1.012 million.
