Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 February 2021
114. Deputy Darren O'Rourke asked the Minister for Transport the estimated cost of converting public transport vehicles including buses and trains from fossil fuels to greener alternatives for each of the years 2021 to 2025; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8729/21]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the planning and development of certain public transport infrastructure, including fleet procurement.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a direct reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
