Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport (Deputy Leo Varadkar)

As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. In the Greater Dublin Area (GDA}, funding for the implementation and development of public transport infrastructure projects, such as the National Intermodal Journey Planner, is provided by my Department to the National Transport Authority (NTA) for allocation to projects and programmes.

Noting this I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you don't receive a reply within 10 working days.

Question No. 26 answered with Question No. 12.
