As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport; I am not involved in the day-to-day operations of public transport. It is the National Transport Authority (NTA) that has responsibility for the regulation of fares charged to passengers in respect of public transport services, provided under public service obligation (PSO) contracts. In addition, I would like to advise that the NTA has responsibility for the collection and publication of statistics relating to public transport.
In light of the NTA's responsibility in these areas, I have forwarded the Deputy's specific question in relation to the amount collected in fares for child tickets on public transport in 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023, to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
