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 statutory responsibility for securing the provision of public passenger transport services nationally and for the scheduling and timetabling of these services in conjunction with the relevant transport operators. In addition, I would like to advise that as part of the NTA’s contractual performance monitoring system with operators, issues of poor reliability and punctuality performance can result in financial penalties for those operators.

In light of the Authority's responsibility in this area, I have forwarded the Deputy's question in relation to the value of performance-related penalties issued to each public transport provider in 2022, to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
