Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 29 March 2018
378. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if taxsaver passes for public transport will be reviewed in view of the delays and overcrowding on the Luas line; if bearers of these tickets for rail services can be transferred for use on Bus Éireann as an interim measure until the delays and overcrowding issues on the Luas are resolved; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14877/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy is aware, there have been issues with tram availability on the Green Line which are currently being addressed by the National Transport Authority (NTA) and Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII).
The wider issue raised by the Deputy is a matter for the NTA in conjunction with the relevant transport operator. In the context of the PSO contracts for the provision of transport services, 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.
