ALMOST all of the flagship projects promised in the next three years under the Government's €34bn transport plan have been delayed.
Despite its "on time and on budget" slogan, most projects due to be completed this year, such as the M50 upgrade and the Portlaoise train depot, are not expected to be finished until next year.
The Cork commuter rail service to Midleton and the Luas service from Connolly station to the docklands are not due to be completed by next year as expected, but have been pushed back to 2009 in revised schedules.
The information was included in Department of Transport briefing documents released to a Sunday newspaper.
The Transport 21 plan was announced two years ago by Martin Cullen.
