I propose to take Questions Nos. 613 and 617 together.

As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. Matters relating to the Sustainable Transport Measures Programme are the responsibility of the National Transport Authority (NTA) and I have no function in such matters.

I have referred the Deputy's letter to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
