Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 29 January 2019
494. Deputy Fiona O'Loughlin asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the reason a person aged under 18 years of age and older than 16 years of age must pay the full adult price despite being a student in second-level education; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3872/19]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The National Transport Authority, NTA, has statutory responsibility for the regulation of fares in relation to public passenger transport services. I have, therefore, referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if the Deputy does not receive a reply within ten working days.
