I propose to take Questions Nos. 987 and 1002 together.
As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport in Ireland. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the regulation of fares in relation to public passenger transport services.
I have, therefore, referred the Deputies questions to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
