As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport.  The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area, including the provision of Park and Ride facilities in County Kildare. Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred your question to the NTA for direct reply.  Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
