Written answers

Minister for Transport

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 in the Greater Dublin Area, including Light Rail.

Noting their responsibility in relation to this matter, I have fowarded your query to the NTA for their consideration and direct reply.
