Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 10 April 2019
166. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the number and location of all organisations in which the National Transport Authority is funding the salaries of the administrative staff in which those organisations have or had in the past direct award contracts with the National Transport Authority; and the expected duration of the continuity of such payments by the authority. [16843/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy is aware, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. Following the establishment of the National Transport Authority (NTA) in December 2009, the NTA is the statutory body with responsibility for overseeing the delivery of public transport services provided under public service contracts. The issue raised, therefore, is a matter for the NTA and 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.
