Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 November 2019
925. Deputy John Brady asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if consideration has been given to include Wicklow town and Arklow, County Wicklow, in the short hop zone for Leap cards; if not, if such a proposal will be examined; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44799/19]
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 you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
