As the 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 issue of the usage of HVO Fuel in the public transport fleet is a matter for Córas Iompair Éireann (CIÉ), which manages the purchasing of fuel on behalf of its subsidiary operating companies, in conjunction with the National Transport Authority, and I have therefore forwarded the Deputy's question to CIÉ for direct reply. 

Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
