Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 31 May 2022
143. Deputy Louise O'Reilly asked the Minister for Transport if his attention has been drawn to the fact that only two train stations in Dublin are excluded from the TFI 90 ticket (details supplied); the reason that these stations are excluded; if consideration has been given to including these busy stations in the scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28039/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport; I am not involved in the day-to-day operations of public transport, nor decisions on fares. It is the National Transport Authority (NTA) that has responsibility for the regulation of fares charged to passengers in respect of public transport service, provided under public service obligation (PSO) contracts.
In light of the Authority's responsibility in this area, I have forwarded the Deputy's specific question in relation to the TFI 90 minute fare to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
