As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area (GDA), including light rail.

As the Deputy will be aware, a fire severely damaged the George's Dock bridge in August which has led to the suspension of Luas Red Line services between Connolly and The Point stops. I understand that a replacement bridge is expected to be in place by the end of the year.

Noting the NTA's responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure in the GDA, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a more detailed reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
