Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 December 2012
553. Deputy Patrick Nulty asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will confirm that funding will be made available as a matter of urgency to the National Transport Authority to carry out works (details supplied) in Dublin 7; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [55591/12]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. In the Greater Dublin Area (GDA), funding for the implementation and development of public transport infrastructure projects, such as the development of the Maynooth line, is provided by my Department to the National Transport Authority (NTA) for allocation to projects and programmes. Noting this I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you don't receive a reply within 10 working days.
