Written answers

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the development of bus stops, bus shelters, bus stations, etc in the State.

Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply. I ask the Deputy to advise my private office if he does not receive a reply within ten working days.

The referred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
