​The implementation and development of public transport infrastructure projects in the Greater Dublin Area (GDA), comes under the remit of the National Transport Authority (NTA).

My Department provides funding via the NTA to local authorities in the GDA under the Sustainable Transport Measures Grants Programme. This programme facilitates investment in the various QBCs, cycling/walking, safety and traffic management projects throughout the region.

A similar programme of sustainable grants, the Regional Cities Programme, provides funding to local authorities in the four regional cities of Cork, Limerick, Galway and Waterford. This programme is managed by the NTA on behalf of my Department.

Local authorities have also benefitted from funding provided by my Department to the NTA for the public bikes schemes in Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway.

Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the Authority for a more detailed reply.  Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
