Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 20 January 2022
161. Deputy Darren O'Rourke asked the Minister for Transport if he will provide a list of cities and towns that are under consideration for the introduction of bike sharing schemes; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2683/22]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public and sustainable transport generally. The National Transport Authority (NTA) is responsible for the development and implementation of public transport and active travel infrastructure, allocating the funding provided by my Department at project level and working in conjunction with the relevant local authorities. This includes the projects mentioned by the Deputy, namely the Bike Share Scheme.
Noting the NTA's responsibilities in the matter, I have referred your question to the NTA for a more detailed reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
