1439. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport when all public transport fleets and carriages will be fully accessible for persons with mobility issues; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1547/18]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport.
Under the Dublin Transport Authority Act 2008 the National Transport Authority (NTA) has functional responsibility for promoting the development of an integrated, accessible public transport network.
In light of the NTA's responsibilities in this matter, I have forwarded the Deputy’s question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
