As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. However, I am not involved in the day-to-day delivery of public transport, including the allocation of funds at project level.
The National Transport Authority (NTA) is responsible for the development and implementation of public and sustainable transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area (GDA) and the regional cities, allocating funds at project level and working in conjunction with the relevant local authorities.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred you question to the NTA for a more detailed reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
