Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 29 November 2023
39. Deputy Violet-Anne Wynne asked the Minister for Transport the total bill of damages to public transport infrastructure with respect to rioting in Dublin city centre on the evening of 23 November 2023; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [52889/23]
View answerAs 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 National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for securing the provision of public passenger transport services nationally, and for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure.
In light of the Authority's responsibility in this area, I have forwarded the Deputy's query in relation to the total bill of damages to public transport infrastructure with respect to rioting in Dublin City centre on the evening of 23 November 2023 to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
