As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. However, I am not involved in the day-to-day operations of public transport or decisions regarding advertising on public transport and public transport infrastructure.
Córas Iompair Éireann (CIÉ) is responsible for managing the advertising of its operating subsidiaries: Bus Átha Cliath, Iarnród Éireann and Bus Éireann. Advertising on Bus Shelters comes under the remit of the National Transport Authority (NTA). Therefore, I have forwarded the Deputy's question to CIÉ and the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
