Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 31 May 2022
117. Deputy Richard Bruton asked the Minister for Transport if he has considered the need for more pet-friendly policies on public transport in Ireland; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27347/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport; however, I am not involved in the day-to-day operations of public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for securing the provision of public passenger transport services nationally and for decisions in relation to those services in conjunction with the relevant transport operators.
In light of the Authority's responsibility in this area, I have forwarded the Deputy's specific question in relation to the need for more pet-friendly policies on public transport in Ireland, to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
