I propose to take Questions Nos. 239 and 242 together.
As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area, including implementation of the DART+ Programme and, in consultation with Iarnród Éireann, car parking facilities at stations.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matters raised, I have referred the Deputy's questions to the NTA for a more detailed reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
