65. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the reason for the limited expansion of the Dublin Bike scheme into the northside of Dublin city in view of the large increase on already existing hubs in the south side. [31029/13]

The Dublin Bikes scheme is one of the most successful city bike rental schemes in operation, which has led to on-going calls for its expansion. The National Transport Authority has worked closely with Dublin City Council to draw up the plans for the current expansion of the scheme along an east/west axis, from Heuston Station to Docklands.  I have referred the Deputy's question regarding expansion of the scheme to the northside of the city to the National Transport Authority for direct reply. If you do hear from the NTA within 10 working days please contact my private office.
