Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Sustainable Mobility Policy: Department of Transport
Mr. Kenneth Spratt:
People between the ages of 19 and 23, and regardless of whether they are students or at work, who have the card will be able to travel for half of the normal price. The objective behind that is to get people to think about their travel options and to go for the one that is the most sustainable and climate friendly. It is a little nudge to get people to figure out that this works. The Senator's suggestion is very much aligned with the thinking of the Minister, and it is something that I can take up with my colleague, Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú, at the Department of Education.
