198. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will confirm that his Department will engage with Cork City Council with a view to developing a park-and-ride facility on land the council owns at Monard, Cork, taking into account that these lands also adjoin the Cork-to-Mallow rail line, where it is proposed to build a railway station in the long term; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has responsibility for the planning and development of certain public transport infrastructure, including the provision of Park and Ride facilities.

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