Since 2010 there is no Public Service Obligation (PSO) subvention paid directly by my Department to transport operators. The award and subvention of PSO contracts now falls under the independent statutory remit of the National Transport Authority (NTA), which has direct responsibility for this area along with the routes covered.
The total PSO subvention provided to the CIÉ companies by this Department for 2009 was as follows:
Schedule of Exchequer Public Service Obligation Subvention to CIÉ Companies 2009
Year | Iarnród Éireann(€ Millions) | Bus Éireann(€ Millions) | Bus Átha Cliath(€ Millions) |
---|---|---|---|
2009 | 170.6 | 49.4 | 83.2 |
