Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 8 February 2022
222. Deputy Bríd Smith asked the Minister for Transport the amount spent on the Dublin BusConnects project to date in each year since 2017; the breakdown of the consultancy fees, engineering and other survey costs connected with the planning stages of the project; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6245/22]
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 public transport infrastructure, including the BusConnects programme.
The NTA previously published details of all costs associated with BusConnects over the period 2018 to 2020 and those details are available through this link:

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.
