As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport.  Matters relating to the implementation and development of individual projects, such as the installation of Wifi on Iarnród Éireann's services, is a matter coming under the remit of Iarnrod Eireann.

Noting this I have referred the Deputy’s question to Iarnród Eireann for direct reply.  Please advise my private office if you don’t receive a reply within 10 working days.

216. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the amount of expenditure incurred by Bus Éireann to install Wi-Fi on its services in the years 2012 and to date in 2013. [53230/13]

The expenditure incurred by Bus Éireann to install Wifi on its commercial services is solely a matter for the company. With regard to its PSO services, some funding is provided by the National Transport Authority for  the installation of Wifi.

I have therefore referred the Deputy's question to Bus Éireann for direct reply in relation to Wifi on both commercial and PSO services. Please advise my private office if you don’t receive a reply within 10 working days.
