    - Investment in the PSO bus fleets
    - Commence delivery of additional InterCity Rail Cars
    - Provide enhanced maintenance and renewal of the existing heavy rail network

    €9m to be allocated for greenways and cycling infrastructure. utterly farcical; as was pointed out on twitter, that'd pay for 300m of the proposed galway bypass.
