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 query in relation to the amount collected in child ticket fares on public transport in 2022 and to date in 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.
