I propose to take Questions Nos. 62 and 63 together.
As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport.
Under the Dublin Transport Authority Act 2008, the National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for promoting the development of an integrated, accessible, sustainable public transport network.
The NTA works with the public transport operators, for example Irish Rail, towards progressively making public transport accessible.
As the Deputy's questions relate to all transport operators, I am forwarding your questions to the NTA for direct reply to you. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
