Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

Responsibility for the roll-out , extension, maintenance and commercial elements of the Public Bikes Scheme in Dublin and in the Regional Cities is an operational matter for the National Transport Authority, working closely with the relevant local authority.

Noting the above, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply. The Deputy should advise my private office if he does not receive a reply within ten working days.
