Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 22 March 2017
269. Deputy John Brady asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his plans to develop public transport links in County Wicklow, particularly in south-east Wicklow; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14503/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the development and implementation of public transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area (GDA) which includes Wicklow. The NTA's Transport Strategy for the Greater Dublin Area 2016-2035 provides a framework for the planning and delivery of transport infrastructure and services in the GDA over the next two decades. The NTA is currently preparing an Implementation Plan for the delivery of the GDA Strategy for the period 2017-2022 in line with the capital funding that will be available for investment in public transport infrastructure over the period. Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, 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 ten working days.
The referred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
