Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 5 March 2026
310. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Transport the reason the new (NTA run) MU1 and MU2 town bus services in Mullingar, County Westmeath do not accept the TFI child (5-8) Leap Card (details supplied). [18226/26]
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, including the TFI child (5-8) Leap Card.
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.
