Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 10 March 2022
178. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Transport the amount provided to each public transport provider in 2022 in respect of additional funding to cover the cost of escalating fuel prices for vehicles. [13671/22]
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 securing the provision of public passenger transport services nationally, and for the allocation of associated funding to the relevant transport operators.
In light of the NTA's responsibilities, I have passed the Deputy's question regarding the provision of additional funding to each public transport provider in 2022 to cover the cost of escalating fuel prices to the Authority for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
