Last year, the Minister for Transport, Deputy Eamon Ryan, said he wanted to see the introduction of a new form of annual TaxSaver ticket for commuters. The Taoiseach and the Minister will be familiar with the concept. It would benefit commuters in places like Louth and east Meath by bringing down travel costs and reflect the new hybrid model of working we have seen operate well over the last year. The National Transport Authority, NTA, confirmed to me last week that this model is not yet available and ready to go live. There have been some delays in this regard. This is a real blow for commuters in Louth and east Meath who were hoping to see the cost of commuting reduced to reflect new ways of working. Can the Minister confirm when the NTA will amend the current TaxSaver scheme to provide for a new form of ticket which will be more cost-effective for commuters and will reflect the new hybrid model of working?
