514. Deputy Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire asked the Minister for Social Protection the estimated full-year cost of the free travel scheme to the Exchequer. [35522/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Free Travel scheme provides free travel on the main public and private transport services for those eligible under the scheme. These include road, rail and ferry services provided by, for example, Bus Átha Cliath, Bus Éireann and Iarnród Éireann, Luas, Local Link and services provided by around 80 private transport operators.
The budget allocation for Free Travel for 2023 is €95 million.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
