Question:

488. Deputy Sean Sherlock asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the estimated amount it would cost to adopt free public transport on Cork city orbital routes on the bus network for holders of Leap cards; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3837/19]

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. I ask him to advise my private office if he does not receive a reply within ten working days.

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