Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 19 June 2012
715 Deputy Patrick Nulty asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if LEAP cards can be topped up at railway stations; if not, if he will confirm whether this facility is being put in place and the timeframe for its availability; the reason for this delay; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraResponsibility for implementation of the integrated ticketing system became a function of the National Transport Authority (NTA) with effect from 30 September 2010. The timeframe for the introduction of the facility to enable Irish Rail customers top up their Leap Cards at railway stations 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.
