Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 October 2025
286. Deputy Grace Boland asked the Minister for Transport if he will commit to engaging with the NTA to develop a more inclusive and practical Leap card system that supports family use of public transport and removes unnecessary administrative burdens on parents; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [55240/25]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs 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.
