Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 12 December 2013
240. Deputy Timmy Dooley asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will provide in tabular form the total annual passenger numbers by service for all State subsidised public transport services, including services receiving subventions; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53502/13]
View answerThe award and monitoring of Public Service Obligation (PSO) contracts falls under the independent statutory remit of the National Transport Authority (NTA), which has direct responsibility for this area. 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 ten working days. The Deputy may wish to note that total annual passenger numbers in respect of the three CIÉ companies are contained in their published annual reports.
