Could the NTA insist that they all accept it? For example, when I was the Minister of State with responsibility for the Gaeltacht, I insisted on Aer Arann and the island ferry services accepting the free travel pass as part of their contracts. Under the relevant legislation, can the NTA do likewise by insisting on any company in receipt of a licence accepting the free travel pass?
