The Preliminary Business Cases for the three Transport Mega Projects (BusConnects, Metrolink and DART+) are currently being considered in line with the Public Spending Code and therefore, my Department is not in a position to itemise costs per Action for those associated Actions. 

In relation to Action 96 - ‘Conduct all-island strategic rail review’, the review is currently subject to an ongoing procurement process.

It should be noted that while there may be limited costs associated with conducting and publishing certain studies, delivering on subsequent actions/recommendations may incur significant capital/current costs as yet determined.

Below in tabular format are the costs (where applicable) associated with each item under the Interim CAP which fall under the Department of Transport's responsibility.

The current and capital costs of Action 123 is a matter for Gas Networks Ireland which falls under the aegis of the Department of the Environment, Climate  and Communications.

In relation to the remaining Actions, I have referred your question to the agencies under the aegis of my Department for direct reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
