I propose to take Questions Nos. 143 and 144 together.

As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to cycling and public transport infrastructure, including the provision of funding to the National Transport Authority (NTA) for public bike-sharing schemes in Cork, Waterford, Limerick and Galway.

However, matters related to the day-to-day operations, management or expansion of public bike schemes are matters for the relevant local authorities, in conjunction with the NTA. As such, I have referred your question to the NTA for a more detailed reply. If you do not receive a reply within 10 working days, please contact my private office.
