Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 May 2011
230 Deputy Aodhán Ó Ríordáin asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the position regarding the recent monthly ticket price hikes by Dublin Bus; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11990/11]
View answerAny proposal by Dublin Bus to vary passenger fares requires the approval of the National Transport Authority as part of its independent statutory mandate and the exercise of its powers to enter into public service contracts with the company. I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if there is no reply within ten working days.
