319. Deputy Grace Boland asked the Minister for Transport whether the independent review of the National Train Control Centre and Traffic Management System Project is examining the adequacy of Iarnród Éireann's internal technical expertise and project leadership, its reliance on external consultants, the documentation and transfer of existing network knowledge, the involvement of operational end users, and the governance, oversight and challenge exercised by the National Transport Authority throughout the project.

320. Deputy Grace Boland asked the Minister for Transport when the independent review of the National Train Control Centre and Traffic Management System Project commissioned by the National Transport Authority will be completed; whether the report will be published in full; and the expected publication date. [65422/26]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 319 and 320 together.

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.
