As the Deputy is aware, the National Transport Authority (NTA) published a draft revised Transport Strategy for the Greater Dublin Area 2022-2042 last November for public consultation. The public consultation process ended on 10 January.

The development of the strategy and the need for it to be reviewed every six years is a statutory function of the NTA and the process relating to that development and review is set out in section 12 of the Dublin Transport Authority Act 2008 (as amended). Ultimately a draft Strategy will be submitted to me for Ministerial approval as provided for in the Act.

Noting their responsibility in relation to the development of the Strategy, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a direct reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
