Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 9 February 2022
52. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Transport when the summary of responses from the population of south-west Dublin will be made public in relation to the draft review of the transport strategy for the greater Dublin area; and the point at which the process to finalise the draft review of the next public interaction will take place. [6858/22]
View answerAs the Deputy is aware, the National Transport Authority (NTA) published a draft revised Transport Strategy for the Greater Dublin Area 2022-2042 last November for public consultation. The public consultation process ended on 10 January.
The development of the strategy and the need for it to be reviewed every six years is a statutory function of the NTA and the process relating to that development and review is set out in section 12 of the Dublin Transport Authority Act 2008 (as amended). Ultimately a draft Strategy will be submitted to me for Ministerial approval as provided for in the Act.
Noting their responsibility in relation to the development of the Strategy, 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.
