Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 14 February 2024
82. Deputy Alan Farrell asked the Minister for Transport what assurances he can give with regard to the timely delivery of battery electric and electric DART carriages, in light of supply and financial forecasts cited by the preferred bidder; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6676/24]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure, including the DART+ Fleet project.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in this matter and the specific issues raised by the Deputy, I have referred the Deputies' questions to the NTA for a more detailed reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
