View answer264. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the funding status of the park and ride facilities that were proposed in figure 5.11 of the transport strategy for the greater Dublin area; if these facilities will be funded and owned by his Department; and if funding has been allocated to these facilities. [43093/18]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 263 and 264 together.
As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The NTA has statutory responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area, including park and ride facilities.
Noting the NTA's responsibility for implementation of public transport in the Greater Dublin Area, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a more detailed reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
