291. Deputy Sean Sherlock asked the Minister for Transport if he will sanction the introduction of the Leap card technology and fares for the Mallow-Cork railway commuter service; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31983/21]
View answer292. Deputy Sean Sherlock asked the Minister for Transport the status of NFT ticketing for bus services in the Cork area. [31984/21]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 291 and 292 together.
As 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 public transport infrastructure, including ticketing technology.
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.
