159. Deputy Maeve O'Connell asked the Minister for Transport the way in which his Department is planning to ensure that the Luas Green Line and other public transport providers will have the necessary capacity to service new housing developments in Sandyford, Dundrum and the surrounding areas. [14879/26]

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 (GDA), including light rail.

Noting the NTA's responsibility in the development of public transport infrastructure in the GDA, 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.
