Amharc ar fhreagraAs Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the development of public transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area (GDA), including bus fleet management.
In light of the NTA's responsibility in the matter I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply. Please inform my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
