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 infrastructure, including ticketing and technology projects.
Iarnród Éireann has provided a PDF barcode/QR ticketing solution that is now available across all online rail ticket options, except Belfast services. Options to add the ticket to your digital / device wallet are also being explored for development.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a direct reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
