The allocation and payment of the subvention to all operators, including the amount payable to Iarnród Éireann, is decided by the NTA in accordance with their PSO contracts with the companies. I have referred the Deputy’s question to the NTA for direct reply.   Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
