Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport.  The National Transport Authority (NTA), working with other relevant State bodies, is responsible for ensuring the planning, development and delivery of the public transport infrastructure priorities, including train station developments, in the Greater Dublin Area including Drogheda.

In light of the NTA’s role, I have forwarded the Deputy’s question to the NTA for their response regarding this matter.

A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 42A

Question No. 2289 answered with Question No. 2260.
