Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 313, 314 and 315 together.

I wish to advise the Deputy that the provision of bus shelters is an operational matter for the companies concerned. The location of bus stops is a matter for the Garda Commissioner, under section 85 of the Road Traffic Act 1961, in consultation with both the local authority and the bus service provider. I have recently asked both Bus Átha Cliath and Bus Éireann to undertake a review of all bus stops from a safety perspective.
