View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 412 to 414, inclusive, together.
The funding of Public Service Obligation (PSO) services is governed by Public Transport Contracts between the National Transport Authority (NTA) and the three CIÉ operating companies. I have referred the Deputy's questions to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
