€100m funding boost for under-resourced transport network

A range of transport, sport, and tourism projects are set to benefit from €100m in additional Government funding.

The latest funding will boost the public transport system, allowing for much- needed maintenance of the road network, as well as facilitating the speedier roll-out of projects this year.

The allocation announced yesterday brings the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport’s overall capital envelope for the year to €1.07bn.
