Responsibility for implementation of the integrated ticketing system became a function of the National Transport Authority (NTA) with effect from 30 September 2010. The timeframe for the introduction of the facility to enable Irish Rail customers top up their Leap Cards at railway stations is an operational issue for the Authority and I have no function in such matters. Noting this, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
