Questions (264)

Luke 'Ming' Flanagan

Question:

264. Deputy Luke 'Ming' Flanagan asked the Minister for Transport; Tourism and Sport the reason Bus Éireann has dropped Expressway Route 22; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that this decision leaves the town of Elphin, County Roscommon without any bus service (details supplied) while the other towns along Expressway Route 22 have other Expressway services which will continue, Elphin is now left with no service to connect it to regional towns; if he is concerned that should such cutbacks to services continue, he will further marginalise towns such as Elphin; the decision making process which brought about this action; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The issue raised is an operational  matter for Bus Éireann in conjunction with the National Transport Authority (NTA) and not one in which I have any role.  I have referred the Deputy's question to the company for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within 10 working days.
