Responsibility for the management of the Rural Transport Programme was assigned to the National Transport Authority (NTA) with effect from 1st April 2012.  This includes the tendering of rural transport services as part of the recent restructuring of the Programme.

I have referred your question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within 10 working days.
