I propose to take Questions Nos. 58, 76 and 77 together.

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 questions raised are an operational matter for Iarnród Éireann and I have therefore forwarded the Deputy's questions to the company for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.

The issue raised would be a matter for the NTA to respond to. Therefore, I have forwarded the Deputy's question in relation to NTA properties/sites to the Authority for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.

The specific information requested is held by the Road Safety Authority (RSA). I have referred the Deputy's question to the RSA for direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to contact my office if a response has not been received within ten days.
