Amharc ar fhreagra617 Deputy Dessie Ellis asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if the South Circular Road, Rialto, Dublin, is being considered for the second round of allocation under the sustainable transport measures programme; if not, the reason it was not chosen; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 613 and 617 together.
As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. Matters relating to the Sustainable Transport Measures Programme are the responsibility of the National Transport Authority (NTA) and I have no function in such matters.
I have referred the Deputy's letter to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
