I propose to take Questions Nos. 51 and 53 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 securing the provision of public passenger transport services nationally, and for the allocation of associated funding to the relevant transport operators.

In light of the NTA's responsibilities, I have passed the Deputy's questions regarding the breakdown of of the capital and current spend in subhead B4 public service provision payments for 2022 to the Authority for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
