Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Transport if he will confirm that Go Ahead Ireland, which operates the 120 bus service from Edenderry to Dublin via Celbridge, is authorised by his Department and by the NTA to reduce capacity since around 29 January 2024 by 13 passengers through denying access to 13 seats to the rear of the coach used (details supplied).

Written answers

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 and for the scheduling and timetabling of these services in conjunction with the relevant transport operators.

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.
