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.

The NTA has assigned its functions in relation to the provision of light rail services to Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII).

As the operation and maintenance of the Luas network is a matter for TII working with the NTA, accordingly, I have referred your question to both agencies for reply. Please advise my private office if you don't receive a reply within 10 working days.
