View answerAs the Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport; however, I am not involved in the day-to-day operations of public transport.
The issue of the usage of HVO Fuel in the public transport fleet is a matter for Córas Iompair Éireann (CIÉ), which manages the purchasing of fuel on behalf of its subsidiary operating companies, in conjunction with the National Transport Authority, and I have therefore forwarded the Deputy's question to CIÉ for direct reply.
