116. Deputy Paul Donnelly asked the Minister for Transport the amount the NTA collected via advertisement on the sides of bus shelters within the Dublin region in 2025 and to date in 2026 in tabular form; and the rates charged for this type of advertisement. [52712/26]

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 National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for securing the provision of public passenger transport services nationally in conjunction with the relevant transport operators. As part of this function, the management of advertising on bus shelters comes under the remit of the National Transport Authority (NTA).

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.
