291. Deputy Barry Ward asked the Minister for Transport if he will take steps to ensure that bicycles may be carried on the Luas; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1842/25]

As 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 issue raised by the Deputy in relation to bicycles on the Luas is a matter for Transdev.  Therefore, I have referred the Deputy's question to Transdev for direct response to the Deputy.

Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
