I propose to take Questions Nos. 283 to 285, inclusive, and 297 together.

As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport and active travel. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has responsibility for the planning and development of public transport and active travel infrastructure, including the Active Travel and BusConnects programmes.

Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's questions to the NTA for a direct reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
