Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 9 December 2015
209. Deputy Finian McGrath asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his views on correspondence (details supplied) regarding a health and safety matter; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44386/15]
View answerThe ownership and/or planning arrangements relating to the building and works referred to in the correspondence forwarded by the Deputy are not known to my Department. In relation to the bus stop in question (on the kerbside opposite Connolly Station), I recognise that this bus stop can be very busy with a considerable number of passengers waiting at peak points throughout the day and that the available kerb space is limited. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for securing the provision of bus stops and bus shelters so I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a more detailed reply in relation to the issues raised in relation to this particular bus stop.
The Deputy should advise my private office if he does not receive a reply within ten working days.
