Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 12 November 2008
203 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Transport if it is intended to enhance bus services to include new urban developments not currently in receipt of services; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [40343/08]
View answerThis is a day-to-day operational matter for the relevant transport provider (both public and private) and not one in which I have any role.
208 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Transport the extent to which he has revised his projections in respect of public rail and bus transport; the degree to which he will provide the necessary funding commensurate with his Department’s projections; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [40350/08]
View answerI refer the Deputy to my reply to PQ No. 119 today. This sets out the position regarding investment in public transport under Transport 21. The provision of further funding for buses for Dublin Bus and Bus Éireann will be considered in the light of the outcome of the cost and efficiency review currently underway.
