I am advised by the National Transport Authority that funding dispersed to Seirbhís Iompair Tuaithe Teoranta (SITT) Rural Transport Programme (RTP) for 2007 to 2012 inclusive and an indicative amount for 2013, is set out in the table below.  Meitheal Forbartha na Gaeltachta Teoranta (MFG) went into liquidation in September 2011 and SITT stepped into the role of ‘temporary provider’ of the RTP within the MFG geographical area in Donegal during 2011.  This funding is shown in a separate table also underneath.

* This is an indicative allocation for the period January to June 2013.

The above figures relate to SITT for the delivery of the RTP within SITT’s own catchment area.

  Below are the amounts dispersed to SITT for the MFG area 2011 to 2012 and an indicative amount for 2013.
