490. Deputy Roderic O'Gorman asked the Minister for Transport further to the recent appearance at the Public Accounts Committee, to provide greater details on the breakdown of payments of the failed €50m IT project write down; the amount paid to a company (details supplied) in each quarter since commencement; if there was ongoing performance reviews or assessments; the amount that can be recouped; the measures in place to ensure accountability and the prudent use of taxpayer funds in this matter; the payments made to consultants supporting the project and the basis on which these payments were made; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Under the Dublin Transport Authority Act 2008, the National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area (GDA), including the National Train Control Centre, or NTCC. The NTA also manages the wider portfolio of public transport investment nationally.

Noting the NTA's responsibility in this matter, I have referred the Deputy's questions to the NTA for a direct, detailed reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
