Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 31 May 2023
39. Deputy James Lawless asked the Minister for Transport the timeline for when a contactless payment system will be in place on public transport in Ireland; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26531/23]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure, including ticketing and technology projects.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a direct reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
