Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 19 July 2012

Amharc ar fhreagraAs Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. Following the establishment of the National Transport Authority (NTA) on December 2009, the implementation and development of infrastructure projects in the Greater Dublin Area (GDA), such as the possible development of the Phoenix Park Tunnel, comes under the remit of the NTA. Noting this I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply. She should advise my private office if she does not receive a reply within 10 working days.
