Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 March 2017
1230. Deputy John Curran asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the details of the proposed NTA plans to improve the public transport system with a network of park and ride sites; if he will identify these sites; the timeframe for them to become operational; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13865/17]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area, including the provision of Park and Ride facilities. The NTA also oversees the capital funding available for investment in public transport measures in the regional cities of Cork, Galway, Limerick and Waterford.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred your question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
The referred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
