Written answers

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

The National Transport Authority (NTA) has responsibility for public transport fares and I have therefore 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

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