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. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has responsibility for the regulation of fares charged to passengers in respect of public transport services provided under public service obligation (PSO) contracts.

In light of the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have forwarded the Deputy's question in relation to any possible plans to include Naas in the €2 90-minute fare zone, to the Authority for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
