Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 October 2025
314. Deputy Barry Heneghan asked the Minister for Transport the reason official communications regarding Leap Card applications are being issued from UK-based email domains, raising concerns about data protection and the outsourcing of public services; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [55413/25]
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 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.
