Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 March 2007
670 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the extent to which he and or his Department intends to provide or fund local transport in rural areas such as Kilteel, County Kildare which currently does not have such public transport services facilities; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9910/07]
View answerThe operation of the Rural Transport Programme (formerly known as the Rural Transport Initiative) is a matter for my colleague Minister of State Pat the Cope Gallagher TD, Department of Transport. Separately, my Department is developing proposals to establish a pilot night-time transport scheme which will be additional to the Rural Transport Programme and I hope to make an announcement in this regard in the coming weeks.
