Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 November 2018
939. Deputy Catherine Connolly asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the progress being made to establish park and ride facilities for Galway city as recommended in the Galway transport strategy; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45768/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy is aware, the Galway Transport Strategy was developed by the relevant local authorities in partnership with the National Transport Authority (NTA). The Strategy identified potential park and ride sites along the M6, N17 and to the west of the city.
Implementation of the Strategy is primarily a matter for the local authorities in line with their statutory roles and responsibilities.
However, the NTA does have a role in supporting implementation through its provision of funding to develop public transport infrastructure. Noting their responsibility in relation to this matter, I have therefore forwarded your query to the NTA for direct reply. Please notify my office if you have not received a reply within 10 working days.
