Seán Fleming: If, however, there are ten buses a day-----
- Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Financial Statements of the National Transport Authority (10 Oct 2019)
Seán Fleming: -----pulling up at a bus stop, it is an indication that there are people there.

Seán Fleming: The witnesses might send us something on the criteria. Is there advertising on the shelters? Does that help the cost-----
- Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Financial Statements of the National Transport Authority (10 Oct 2019)
Seán Fleming: What kind of budget does the NTA have for bus shelters for last year versus next year? I am asking for an estimate. Mr. Creegan said the NTA will do more.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Financial Statements of the National Transport Authority (10 Oct 2019)
Seán Fleming: If the NTA got 200 done for €1 million, at a cost per stop of €5,000, €3 million would provide for 600 bus stops. Am I in the right order?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Financial Statements of the National Transport Authority (10 Oct 2019)
Seán Fleming: Are the bus stops all done to a set design or does the NTA have different designs for urban areas and rural areas? Does it have a range of three or four different designs?

Seán Fleming: Who progresses that if the NTA picks a town?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Financial Statements of the National Transport Authority (10 Oct 2019)
Seán Fleming: I ask the witnesses to tell us in the note how many stops the NTA has provided in each of the past couple of years. I ask them to provide detail of the NTA's budget or its plan and how many stops it has in planning. That will give us an indication as to what it might be able to do next year.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Financial Statements of the National Transport Authority (10 Oct 2019)
Seán Fleming: Mr. Creegan understands.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Financial Statements of the National Transport Authority (10 Oct 2019)
Seán Fleming: That is probably the acid test. If the NTA has not applied for planning, it will not install the stop for a period anyway. The obvious point that everybody makes to the NTA is the need to ensure that the exposed part of the shelter does not face into the wind. The stops should shelter people. The witnesses hear that too.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Financial Statements of the National Transport Authority (10 Oct 2019)
Seán Fleming: There is no point in people having to stand behind a shelter to avoid the wind and rain, as happens. I think the witnesses know well what I am talking about. Does the NTA have a role in cycle lanes? Some of the national routes have been bypassed and cycling lanes are now opening up in various parts of the country. Is that the responsibility of the NTA or Transport Infrastructure Ireland?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Financial Statements of the National Transport Authority (10 Oct 2019)
Seán Fleming: The NTA has more responsibility in urban areas when it comes to cycle lanes.

Seán Fleming: We have asked about taxis. Do we have Uber operating in Ireland?

Seán Fleming: What does that mean? Is Ms Graham referring to hackneys?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Financial Statements of the National Transport Authority (10 Oct 2019)
Seán Fleming: I see on page 89 of the NTA's accounts that it has a risk register. That is important. What are the top two, three or four risks on its register?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Financial Statements of the National Transport Authority (10 Oct 2019)
Seán Fleming: That is fine.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Financial Statements of the National Transport Authority (10 Oct 2019)
Seán Fleming: I am pleased Ms Graham had that document to hand. That is a good sign. Some organisations have not had a risk register in two or three years when they have come before the committee. First, I am pleased the NTA has one and, second, I am very pleased Ms Graham had it to hand, which is a first. I am looking at page 122 of the NTA's financial statement. It shows a spend of €6.6...
