I propose to take Questions Nos. 34 and 58 together.

As Minister for Transport I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport.

The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the regulation of fares in relation to public passenger transport services. I have, therefore, referred the Deputies' questions to the NTA for direct reply. I ask the Deputies to advise my private office if they do not receive a reply within ten working days.
