I propose to take Questions Nos. 411 and 412 together.
The information requested by the Deputy has been provided by the DTO and is contained in the attached tables. In the case of park and ride developments provided as part of Luas and rail works, the cost is included in the overall cost of the developments. In other cases, park and ride facilities have been funded through the Dublin Transportation Office Traffic Management Grants Scheme (DTO-TMG), and the relevant figures are set out in the tables. I should also add that my Department is in regular contact with local authorities about the availability of funds for the development of traffic management grant measures, including park and ride facilities.

The provision and operation of bus services in the Dublin area is an operational matter for Dublin Bus and not one in which I have any role.
