My Department provides capital funding to Irish Rail for the maintenance and renewal of the heavy rail network under the Infrastructure Manager Multi-Annual Contract (IMMAC), in accordance with the requirements of EU law. Irish Rail also receives capital funding, via the National Transport Authority, for heavy rail projects in the Greater Dublin Area as well as funding under the Accessibility Grants and Regional Cities Programmes.
I have forwarded your question to Irish Rail for direct reply in relation to details of the expenditure requested by the Deputy. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
