Amharc ar fhreagra90. Deputy Darren O'Rourke asked the Minister for Transport the amount spent in each of the years 2015 to 2020 on improving the ticketing systems across the public transport network; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25025/21]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 89 and 90 together.
As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure, including integrated ticketing.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the question to the NTA for their consideration and direct reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
