Darren O'Rourke: I will revisit the delay in the roll-out of the new fare structure. What are the practical implications of that? Does it only apply to rail services? Is the issue unique to Irish Rail? Is the phased roll-out still on course for other areas, such as bus services in Navan and elsewhere in County Meath?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Sustainable Travel Operations Update: National Transport Authority (10 Jul 2024)
