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, including Park and Ride facilities.

Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, and their previous reply, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for any further updates that may be available. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
