817.

I have not had discussions with the Minister for Justice and Equality or the Reception and Integration Agency (RIA) regarding the matter raised by the Deputy. As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport.
The issue raised is a matter for the National Transport Authority (NTA) in conjunction with the relevant transport operators and therefore I have forwarded the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
