268. Deputy Ivana Bacik asked the Minister for Transport his plans to expand public bikes schemes. [37080/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to cycling and public transport infrastructure, including the provision of funding to the National Transport Authority (NTA) for bike-sharing schemes like the Regional Bikes Scheme in Cork, Waterford, Limerick and Galway.
However, matters related to the day-to-day operations, management or expansion of public bike schemes is a matter for relevant local authorities, in conjunction with the NTA.
As such, I have referred your question to the NTA for a more detailed reply. If you do not receive a reply within 10 working days, please contact my private office.
