Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

Since 2010 there is no subvention paid directly by my Department for public transport services.

The award of Public Service Obligation (PSO) contracts falls under the independent statutory remit of the National Transport Authority (NTA) and I have referred 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.

A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 42A.
