Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 July 2023
255. Deputy Sean Sherlock asked the Minister for Transport the action taken to roll-out electric bikes on the public bike scheme in Cork, Waterford, Limerick and Galway; and the action taken for establishing locations of potential new stations in each city, if any. [36820/23]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to cycling and public transport infrastructure, including the provision of funding to the National Transport Authority (NTA) for bike-sharing schemes like the Regional Bikes Scheme in Cork, Waterford, Limerick and Galway.
However, matters related to the day-to-day operations, management or expansion of public bike schemes, including the roll-out of electric bikes, in each city is a matter for the relevant local authorities, in conjunction with the NTA.
As such, I have referred your question to the NTA for a more detailed reply. If you do not receive a reply within 10 working days, please contact my private office.
