Seán Fleming: Mr. Creegan understands.

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?

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?

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...

Seán Fleming: For how many years has the NTA been in this position?

Seán Fleming: When did the NTA go beyond-----
- Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Financial Statements of the National Transport Authority (10 Oct 2019)
Seán Fleming: Let us take the position at the year end. The NTA probably has the figures-----
- Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Financial Statements of the National Transport Authority (10 Oct 2019)
Seán Fleming: -----for staff numbers at the end of December or the end of its financial year. I ask the witnesses to go back a few years and show us the figures for the NTA's own staff versus the outsourced staff, the year in which the balance went, and the authority's projection to get it back-----
- Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Financial Statements of the National Transport Authority (10 Oct 2019)
Seán Fleming: -----to where it should be.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Financial Statements of the National Transport Authority (10 Oct 2019)
Seán Fleming: The NTA has the details.

Seán Fleming: We ask the witnesses to send them to us because I would have thought that, while it might not be as big a risk as a cyberattack, this is still a risk.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Financial Statements of the National Transport Authority (10 Oct 2019)
Seán Fleming: I would expect the NTA to have this on its risk register.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Financial Statements of the National Transport Authority (10 Oct 2019)
Seán Fleming: If it affects continuity of staff, it affects continuity of service and so on. The next item I want to ask about is small but very significant, namely, Taxsaver ticketing. I know how the scheme works but I want to know how it works from the NTA's point of view? How many Taxsaver tickets are there? Does the NTA get the gross cost of the ticket or the net cost minus the tax?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Financial Statements of the National Transport Authority (10 Oct 2019)
Seán Fleming: Is that revenue from the Taxsaver product?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Financial Statements of the National Transport Authority (10 Oct 2019)
Seán Fleming: Must a ticket be annual?
