184. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the reason Transport for Ireland branding logos are displayed solely in English on buses and other forms of public transport throughout Ireland; what engagement he has had with Transport for Ireland regarding the development of branding in Irish, particularly in light of the official aims of the 20 Year Strategy for the Irish language; the status of the rollout of branding in Irish on Transport for Ireland’s services; 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; however, I am not involved in the day-to-day operations of public transport.

The Transport for Ireland (TFI) brand was established by the National Transport Authority to promote and integrate public transport services nationwide. As such, I have forwarded the Deputy's question in relation to the rollout of branding in Irish on TFI services, to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
