Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 30 September 2025
191. Deputy Keira Keogh asked the Minister for Transport if his Department has conducted an impact assessment of the recent changes to the Dublin commuter zone fare structure; and his views on the socioeconomic implications for commuters in Zones 2, 3 and 4; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51550/25]
View answerAs 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 the regulation of fares charged to passengers in respect of public transport services provided under public service obligation (PSO) contracts.
In light of the NTA’s responsibility in this area, I have forwarded the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
