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 National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for securing the provision of public passenger transport services nationally in conjunction with the relevant transport operators.

The Deputy's request for a breakdown of spending on public transport for each county between 2017 and 2023, is an operational matter for the NTA. I have therefore forwarded the question to the Authority for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
