231. Deputy Marc MacSharry asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the estimated cost of the provision of free public transport to children under 12 and 18 years of age and third level students. [43960/19]
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 the statutory responsibility for the regulation of fares in relation to public passenger transport services. 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.
