I refer to my reply to Question No. 254 on 12 May last.

The process to recruit a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) designate for the Dublin Transport Authority has now been concluded and I expect to be in a position to announce the CEO designate in the near future.

With regard to the staffing of the Authority the position is that the Authority must determine its needs with the approval of the Ministers for Transport and Finance. Accordingly, that process will begin in earnest once a CEO designate has been appointed.
