Amharc ar fhreagraUnder the Dublin Transport Authority Act 2008 the regulation of Public Service Obligation (PSO) fares and subvention of PSO operators are matters for the National Transport Authority (NTA) and I have forwarded the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply. The Deputy might advise my private office if he does not receive a response within ten working days.
