The information required by the Deputy is published and available in the Revised Estimates Volume (REV).  I attach a link for ease of reference to the estimates for 2017. The Deputy may wish to examine the agency statements in relation to Vote 31 which deals with non-commercial state agencies under the aegis of my Department. .

The Revised Estimates Volume 2018 will be published in early December with updated information. 

In addition, Iarnród Éireann has responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the heavy rail network. In accordance with the requirements of EU law, my Department provides annual capital funding to Iarnród Éireann for the maintenance and renewal of the network under the Infrastructure Manager Multi-Annual Contract (IMMAC). The Capital Plan provided €1.3 billion for this purpose. The current IMMAC covers the five-year period 2014-2018. In 2017 €158.8m was allocated to the company for the IMMAC. Iarnród Éireann also receives capital funding, via the National Transport Authority, for heavy rail projects in the Greater Dublin Area (the 2017 allocation was €10.2m) as well as funding under the Accessibility Grants and Regional Cities Programmes.
