I propose to take Questions Nos. 194 and 198 together.
As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has responsibility for the planning and development of public transport services and infrastructure. This responsibility includes consideration and deployment of alternative fuels in support of national decarbonisation goals.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in this matter, I have referred the Deputy's questions to the NTA for a more detailed response. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
