Written Answers. - Public Transport.

Dan Boyle

Question:

794 Mr. Boyle asked the Minister for Transport the reason public access to the recent Steer Davies Gleave consultant's report was removed form his Department's website [2074/03]

The Department of Transport website is currently under construction. As a result, problems were experienced in posting the Steer Davies Gleave report on it. These problems meant that the report could not be accessed or was only intermittently accessible for some hours. Those technical difficulties were resolved as quickly as possible and the report was restored, in full, to the website. In the interim, copies of the report were available on request from my Department, both in hard copy and by e-mail.

Question:

795 Mr. Boyle asked the Minister for Transport the reasons for the variation between the conclusions and the recommendations in the recent Steer Davies Gleave consultants report [2075/03]

The terms of reference for the study on the regulation of the bus market outside Dublin required the consultants to produce a detailed report and a short public consultation document. Steer Davies Gleave, the consultants engaged by my Department to conduct the study, drafted both documents as required under the terms of reference and are fully responsible for their content. I published the report on 14 November 2002 as it was presented to me by the consultants.

Question No. 796 answered with Question No. 775.
