Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 July 2013
574. Deputy Timmy Dooley asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the level of financial assistance that has been provided by either his Department or the National Transport Authority to Bus Éireann towards the roll-out of on-street real time information systems; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerFollowing the establishment of the National Transport Authority (NTA) in December 2009, the implementation and development of infrastructure projects in the Greater Dublin Area (GDA), such as Real Time Passenger Information (RTPI), comes under the remit of the NTA. The Authority’s functions were subsequently extended by Ministerial Order to include provision of RTPI to the four major regional cities of Cork, Galway, Limerick and Waterford and the contiguous areas of those counties. Noting this I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
