1. Introduction

Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) has been invited to attend a session of the Committee of Public Accounts. In order to assist the members of the Committee, TII is pleased to present this briefing paper. In this paper we set out some background information on:

TII’s Grant Allocations 2016;

Progress on Roads and Public Transport Capital Programme projects

2. Background to TII

Transport Infrastructure Ireland

Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) is a non-

commercial semi-State body which operates

under the aegis of the Department of Transport,

Tourism & Sport. Our mission is to provide high

quality transport infrastructure and services,

delivering a better quality of life and supporting

economic growth. TII was formed on 31st July

2015 from a merger of the Railway Procurement

Authority and the National Roads Authority.

TII's primary function is to provide an integrated approach to the development, maintenance and operation of the national road network and light rail infrastructure.

In relation to national roads, our key role is to secure the provision of a safe and efficient network of national roads. This includes responsibility for the planning and supervision of construction and maintenance of national roads. TII works with different partners to fulfil this role:

A number of major new motorways have been procured on a Public Private Partnership basis;

The remainder of the motorways and dual carriageways are maintained by contractors under long term contracts; and

Local authorities continue to work as road authorities for their respective areas.

In relation to light rail, the core functions of TII is to secure the provision of such light railway and metro railway infrastructure as may be determined from time to time by the National Transport Authority (NTA). Funding for light rail and metro railway infrastructure is provided by the NTA. This submission is limited to discussing the delivery aspects of light rail, as NTA is responsible for planning and funding of the light rail networks.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT “To provide high quality transport infrastructure and services, delivering a better quality of life and supporting economic growth”

The major schemes at construction were:

During 2016 eleven minor projects opened to traffic namely:

N15 Blackburn Bridge Realignment Scheme Phase 1

In accordance with the Government’s Capital Investment plan - Building on Recovery 2016 – 2021, work continued on the progression to construction on the following major schemes, all of which have planning approval:

N4 Collooney to Castlebaldwin

N5 Westport to Turlough

N7 Naas Newbridge upgrade (Contract awarded in September 2017)

N8/N40 Dunkettle

N22 Ballyvourney to Macroom

N56 Mountcharles to Inver (being delivered as a series of minor projects)

N56 Dungloe to the Glenties (being delivered as a series of minor projects)

N59 Moycullen Bypass

Also in accordance with Building on Recovery, work continued to bring the following major schemes through the planning process:

N2 Slane Bypass

N6 Galway City Transport Project

N21/N69 Foynes to Limerick

N28 Ringaskiddy to Cork

N72 Mallow Relief Road

One Major PPP contract commenced construction in 2016 which was the N25 New Ross bypass. This project along with the other two PPP projects, the M11 Gorey Enniscorthy and the M17/M18 Gort to Tuam, were the only Major projects at construction in 2016.

The N17/N18 Gort to Tuam opened to traffic on 27th September 2017.

5. National Road Maintenance

The national road maintenance allocation in 2015, 2016 and 2017 has remained largely unchanged and is €39m for 2016.

As recently as 2008 the maintenance budget was €58m, but this figure was cut sharply during the financial crisis and has not been increased subsequently.

The maintenance budget is used for drainage, signs, litter picking, grass cutting, verge trimming, pot hole filling, boundary and safety fence repairs, lighting, and the like, and for winter operations such as road weather information services, salt supply and distribution, and clearance of snow and ice. The maintenance budget also funds


7

incident response activities on the M50 and other motorways and this is an increasing demand on maintenance funding.

6. Regional & Local Roads

The grant allocations for Regional & Local Roads, administered by TII on behalf of the Department of Transport, Tourism & Sport, totalled €371m in 2016.

7. Public Private Partnerships (PPPs)

TII has entered into thirteen road PPP Contracts and also a PPP contract for the provision of motorway service areas. Following the recent (27th Sept 2017) opening of the N17 Gort to Tuam scheme, PPP operated roads now comprise some 33 per cent of the c.1270km of motorway/dual carriageway network. Two PPP schemes are currently under construction i.e., the M11 Gorey-Enniscorthy scheme and the N25 New Ross Bypass Scheme.

PPP payments in 2016 amounted to circa €109m. PPP payments will increase in the coming years with the opening of the N25 New Ross Bypass and M11 Gorey-Enniscorthy schemes. There are no further road PPPs in procurement at this time.

The thirteen road PPPs comprise:

Eight toll road concession PPP Contracts –

in the case of six of these PPP Contracts, traffic risk rests entirely with the PPP Co. In the case of two of the PPP Contracts, i.e. the M3 Clonee-Kells Scheme and the N18 Limerick Tunnel, the PPP Contract provides for a sharing of downside traffic risk (referred to as Variable Operation Payments) between the PPP Company and TII, and

Five Design Build Finance Operate Maintain (DBFOM) PPP Contracts

- three of which are operational (M50, N7/M11 & M17/M18) and two of which are in the construction phase (M11 Gorey-Enniscorthy & N25 New Ross both of which are to open in 2019). The PPP Companies on these schemes are reimbursed through Availability Payments paid by TII.

Risk Sharing Payments

Variable Operation Payments payable for 2016 amounted to €5.2m of which €0.8m was for the M3 Clonee-Kells scheme and €4.4m was in respect of the N18 Limerick Tunnel scheme

The Variable Operation Payments apply where traffic volumes are below traffic volumes specified in the respective contracts. The Variable Operation Payments contribute to the senior debt service requirements.

Variable Operation Payments, under a low traffic growth scenario, are expected to continue to 2025 (the concession term runs to 2052) on the M3 Clonee-Kells scheme.


8

Variable Operation Payments are expected to continue throughout the concession term, which runs to 2041, on the N18 Limerick Tunnel scheme.

Risk Sharing Receipts

Amounts receivable by TII under risk share receipts were €6.9m in 2016. These payments arose from traffic related revenue sharing on the M4 Kilcock-Kinnegad and M1 Drogheda Bypass schemes (totalling €3.5m) and on insurance cost savings across a number of schemes of €3.4m.

Traffic related revenue share payments are expected to exceed Variable Operation Payment amounts in future years.

Service Area PPP

TII awarded a Motorway Service Area Contact in 2009.

The Contract includes service stations located on the M1 and on the M4. The service areas have been operational since 2010 and the contract runs to 2034. All revenue risk rests with the PPP Co.

Amounts receivable by TII for revenue share on this contract amounted to €2.0m in 2016 and revenue share payments will continue throughout the concession period.

Motorway Service Areas – Tranche 2

A tender competition was held by TII to procure the fit out, operate the Gorey Service Area and to design, build, fit out and operate two other service areas; on the M6 at Athlone and on the M9 at Kilcullen. In August 2015, prior to the award of the contract, one of the unsuccessful tenderers issued legal proceedings seeking a judicial review of the tender evaluation process leading to the selection of the preferred tenderer. In December 2016 the Applicant requested the Court to put a stay on its judgement and the legal challenge was subsequently withdrawn by the Applicant at the end of April 2017.

TII has now resumed contract discussions with the preferred bidder in order to bring this tender to financial close.

8. Public Transport Construction and Improvement

Works at construction during 2016 included the following:

Luas Cross City.

Luas Green Line Infrastructure Upgrade.

Luas Green Line Capacity Enhancement.

In accordance with the Government’s Capital Investment Plan - Building on Recovery 2016 – 2021, TII assisted the NTA on the planning and design of New Metro North
