311. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if the attention of the NTA has been drawn to maintenance issues with the Cork bike share scheme in view of the fact that several stations have been out of commission for over two months; and the date on which the NTA will introduce new bike share stations in Cork, Galway, Limerick and Dublin.

As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to cycling and public transport infrastructure. However, I am not involved in the day-to-day operations of the management of public bike schemes. Details regarding contracts, operation and expansion of existing and proposed bike schemes fall under the remit of the National Transport Authority (NTA), working in conjunction with the relevant local authorities.

Noting the NTA's responsibilities in the matter, I have referred your question to the NTA for a more detailed reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
