Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 November 2013
696. Deputy Mattie McGrath asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport in view of the change in boundaries in the rural transport programme, the area or group that now has or will have responsibility for rural transport in the Bohernabreena area, Dublin 24; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [50715/13]
View answerAs Minister of State for Public and Commuter Transport I have responsibility for policy and overall funding of the Rural Transport Programme (RTP). Since the 1st April 2012 the National Transport Authority (NTA) has been assigned responsibility for managing the RTP and also has responsibility for implementing the recently announced restructuring of the Programme. 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.
