Questions (1096)

Maureen O'Sullivan

Question:

1096. Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if his attention has been drawn to an anomaly concerning Leap cards on Dublin Bus whereby the on-bus card reader console displays to the card-holder a figure other than the figure displayed to the driver and other than the outstanding balance on the card; if he will report on the way Dublin Bus arrives at the figure shown to the card-holder in these circumstances; if the display of misleading information to Leap card-holders on Dublin Bus card reader consoles is in breach of the Sale of Goods and Supply of Services Act 1980 or of EU consumer law; the steps he will take to initiate a process that will lead to accurate information concerning the unused balance on the card being available on Dublin Bus card reader consoles, for the information of Leap card users; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Responsibility to develop, procure, implement, operate and maintain the Leap Card system is a function of the National Transport Authority (NTA).

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.
