National Transport Authority - Financial Statement 2011

10:50 am

Mr. Gerry Murphy:

The bulk of the expenditure occurred after the project was reconstituted. The other factor was that a non-statutory body was set up. One of the reasons for setting up the National Transport Authority was to give us statutory powers, across all the operators, to require and drive forward integration. That function was moved across to us in September 2010 and I am pleased to say we delivered the project in December 2011.
