264. Deputy Donna McGettigan asked the Minister for Transport the position regarding the introduction of an e-bike rental scheme for County Clare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [71391/25]
View answerAs 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) in support of public bike-sharing schemes in Galway, Limerick, Cork and Waterford.
Outside of the regional cities, many local authorities have arrangements in place with shared mobility companies to provide bike-sharing schemes under contract or licence agreement. These schemes are not funded through the NTA. Accordingly, any proposals regarding the introduction of a shared bike scheme in Clare are a matter for consideration by Clare County Council.
