NTA Fares Hike Sparks Oireachtas Scrutiny | Belfast News
Description
Public transport fares are set to jump 15% starting January — the first increase in nearly a decade — sparking outrage and a fiery showdown before the Oireachtas Transport Committee. With costs of living soaring and eco-conscious commuting on the rise, critics slam the move as counterproductive. Committee chair Michael Murphy is demanding answers: why hike fares when the goal is to get people off cars? He’s probing the NTA for alternatives, real impacts on daily commuters, and transparency amid a tough economic climate. The NTA faces scrutiny next Wednesday, September 16th — public accountability is now on the line.
