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 regulation of fares charged to passengers in respect of public transport services provided under public service obligation (PSO) contracts.

Therefore, in light of the NTA's responsibility in this matter, I have forwarded the Deputy's question in relation to the estimated cost of extending the 20% reduction in public transport fares until 31 December 2024, to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
