229 Deputy Dominic Hannigan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport further to Parliamentary Question No. 215 of 10 May 2012, if he will provide details of the pilot and timings; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25875/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraResponsibility for implementation of the integrated ticketing system became the function of the National Transport Authority (NTA) with effect from 30 September 2010.
The piloting of the Leap Card on Bus Éireann services within the Eastern Region and on services of private bus operators is an operational issue for the Authority and I have no function in such matters.
Noting this, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
