I propose to take Questions Nos. 628 and 629 together.

As the Deputy is aware, the National Transport Authority (NTA) administers the Regional Cities Programme for investment in public transport infrastructure in the regional cities, including Limerick.

Noting the NTA's responsibility in this area, 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.
