Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 September 2013
1634. Deputy Andrew Doyle asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his views on whether the introduction of the new public services card may be integrated into the existing Leap card technology on public transport services; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37391/13]
View answerThe National Transport Authority (NTA) has responsibility to develop, procure, implement, operate and maintain the integrated ticketing Leap card system.
I understand that the NTA is working closely with the Department of Social Protection to integrate the Public Services Card with the Leap card scheme for those with free travel entitlements.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter 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.
