Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 November 2017
996. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if his Department will liaise with the National Transport Authority and Dublin City Council in order to help taxi drivers that are finding it increasingly difficult to negotiate around Dublin city centre; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45718/17]
View answerTraffic management in Dublin city centre is a matter in the first instance for Dublin City Council.
The National Transport Authority (NTA) is responsible for the development and implementation of public transport and sustainable transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area (GDA). Under the Sustainable Transport Measures Grants (STMG) Programme, my Department provides funding to the NTA for the seven local authorities in the GDA, including Dublin City Council, for the implementation of sustainable transport projects including traffic management projects.
Noting the NTA's responsibility for the STMG Programme, I have referred your question to the Authority for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
The deferred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
