The membership of the Board to the National Transport Authority (NTA) may be found on the NTA's website.  However, I outline below the current membership, county of residence and the date of appointment for each current serving member.

As set down by Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, the fee payable for Chairperson of the NTA is €20,520 and for ordinary directors is €11,970. I have asked the NTA to reply to the Deputy with details of the fee paid to each serving member.

As issues raised in relation to staffing numbers, remuneration and administrative costs are matters in the first instance for the NTA, I have referred the Deputy's question to the Authority for direct reply on these matters.   Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
