Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport

A copy of the proposal has been received by my Department and I note that it is supported by a number of Deputies.

The issue raised is a matter for the National Transport Authority (NTA) and I have forwarded the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply.  Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
