I would like to thank the Deputy for his question. Officials from the Department accompanied me to meetings with Indra Sistemas on the 21st of August 2025 and again on the 21st of January 2026 while attending their office opening.
The National Transport Authority (NTA) has responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure, including Next Generation Ticketing and, in collaboration with Iarnród Éireann, the National Train Control Centre. My Department and I engage with the NTA on an ongoing basis on a wide variety of matters.
