Under the Trans European Network Transport (TEN-T) 2007-2013 programme funding has been provided for two eligible heavy rail projects since 2013.

A total of €724,000 was received in 2013 and 2014 in EU co-funding in respect of the City Centre Re-signalling project. Also under that programme €620,500  was provided this year towards the planning and design of a new rail Central Traffic Control Centre.

Under the INTERREG IV 2007-2013 programme a total of €6.1m has been awarded towards the Refurbishment of the Drogheda Viaduct project.  €1.47m of this co-funding was received last year with the remainder expected to be drawn down this year.

My Department will keep under review the opportunities for EU co-funding under the new TEN-T/CEF and INTERREG V 2014-2020 programmes.
