Public Accounts Committee: National Transport Authority: Financial Statements 2020 (27 Jan 2022)

Imelda Munster: There was an issue coming up quite often with the access via the lift. Customers were saying there was an issue. Either they were told they could not access the lift or that there was not a second person there and there were problems with that. Has the NTA managed to sort that out?

Public Accounts Committee: National Transport Authority: Financial Statements 2020 (27 Jan 2022)

Imelda Munster: What percentage of that has the NTA achieved?

Public Accounts Committee: National Transport Authority: Financial Statements 2020 (27 Jan 2022)

Imelda Munster: Why?

Public Accounts Committee: National Transport Authority: Financial Statements 2020 (27 Jan 2022)

Imelda Munster: It is not really factually correct to say 100% of regional bus services are 100% wheelchair-accessible if there is an obvious issue with the lift-----

Public Accounts Committee: National Transport Authority: Financial Statements 2020 (27 Jan 2022)

Imelda Munster: -----and the bus stops. I mean the provision of wheelchair-accessible bus stops.

Public Accounts Committee: National Transport Authority: Financial Statements 2020 (27 Jan 2022)

Imelda Munster: Does the Ms Graham have a breakdown of the regional buses on the basis of how many are low-floor vehicles and how many use the lift for wheelchair accessibility?

Public Accounts Committee: National Transport Authority: Financial Statements 2020 (27 Jan 2022)

Imelda Munster: All right. If the NTA does not have the information in relation to the bus stops that have the wheelchair-----

Public Accounts Committee: National Transport Authority: Financial Statements 2020 (27 Jan 2022)

Imelda Munster: Please do. What percentage of private operators on the PSO routes are wheelchair-accessible?

Public Accounts Committee: National Transport Authority: Financial Statements 2020 (27 Jan 2022)

Imelda Munster: All right.

Public Accounts Committee: National Transport Authority: Financial Statements 2020 (27 Jan 2022)

Imelda Munster: When Ms Graham refers to the regional services and Local Link, does she have percentages for urban versus rural in the context of wheelchair accessibility?

Public Accounts Committee: National Transport Authority: Financial Statements 2020 (27 Jan 2022)

Imelda Munster: Outside of Local Link. Or is that solely what she is basing that on?

Public Accounts Committee: National Transport Authority: Financial Statements 2020 (27 Jan 2022)

Imelda Munster: Yes.

Public Accounts Committee: National Transport Authority: Financial Statements 2020 (27 Jan 2022)

Imelda Munster: I refer to Ms Graham's point that the NTA is looking at organising campaigns to encourage people to be confident in using public transport and possible fare reductions in that regard to encourage more people to use services. Of course, it is in line with our climate action policies and plan and the NTA's objective to encourage people to use public transport. There are two issues that I wish...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Jan 2022)

Imelda Munster: Chairman, I am here.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Jan 2022)

Imelda Munster: It was just about getting an update. There were recommendations from the advisory group, and that included the number completed in the fourth quarter of last year. Could we look for an update on that? Also, could we ask when we can expect a timeline for the implementation of the White Paper?

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (27 Jan 2022)

Imelda Munster: I agree with the suggestion that we should not have to write to request this information. As the Chair said, it is a battle a day to try to get the information. In future, it needs to be clear-cut that the information should be furnished to us annually. Deputy Carthy has a point about the special additional salary that was added under such controversy. We need to write separately about...

Imelda Munster: RTÉ has a statuary duty as regards current affairs programming in Irish. I understand it provides "7 Lá" for TG4. What current affairs programmes in Irish are actually on RTÉ?

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: RTÉ's Public Service Statement, Irish Language Services and RTÉ Board Appointments Process: Discussion (26 Jan 2022)

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: RTÉ's Public Service Statement, Irish Language Services and RTÉ Board Appointments Process: Discussion (26 Jan 2022)
