Written answers

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport (Shane Ross)

As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to cycling and public transport infrastructure. The administration and expansion of public bike schemes in the regional cities is a matter for the National Transport Authority (NTA).

Noting the NTA's responsibilities in the matter, I have referred your question to the NTA for a more detailed reply . Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.

A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 51.
