Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 July 2026
174. Deputy Pádraig Rice asked the Minister for Transport to respond to matters raised in correspondence (details supplied); to detail to reasoning behind the fare differences; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53600/26]
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, and Iarnród Éireann is responsible for the operation and management of car parking facilities at train stations.
In light of the NTA's and Iarnród Éireann's responsibility in these areas, I have forwarded the Deputy's question to the NTA and Iarnród Éireann for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
