The issue raised is a matter for the National Transport Authority (NTA) and I have forwarded the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply.  Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days. 

My Department is continually kept informed on relevant developments by the NTA through various means, including a formal monthly meeting between officials.
