272. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Transport the amount allocated for the pre-planning stage of the MetroLink; the amount allocated for the design stage of MetroLink; and the amount expended on all aspects of the MetroLink announced on 5 July 2022 including external public relations advice, feasibility studies, route identification consultations and related costs.

Amharc ar fhreagraAs 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 in the Greater Dublin Area which includes, in conjunction with Transport Infrastructure Ireland, MetroLink.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a direct reply to the specific issues raised. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
