The National Transport Authority or NTA was formally established on the 1st of December 2009. The functions of the Authority, pursuant to section 11 of the Dublin Transport Authority Act 2008, include securing the provision of public transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area. Statutory responsibility for securing the delivery of infrastructure projects, such as the DART Underground, is now a matter for the NTA.

As is the case with the National Roads Authority, the NTA has appointed an Oireachtas Liaison Officer to respond to questions raised by Deputies. The Oireachtas Liaison Officer is Matt Benville and he may be contacted at 604 1098 or at The National Transport Authority, 59 Dawson Street, Dublin 2.
