Deputy Seán Kyne asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his views on the process by which advertisements are cleared for use on publicly owned public transport services; the steps a person can take if they believe an advertisement to not be suitable for use on publicly financed transport services; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

This is a matter for the relevant public transport provider and the advertiser in conjunction with the Advertising Standards Authority for Ireland (ASAI).  The ASAI set standards for advertising and adjudicate on complaints received, including those for alcohol drinks advertisements.
