Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 June 2017
1809. Deputy Imelda Munster asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his plans to manage bus coaches in Dublin city during June 2017 until September 2017 when 50 new spaces are expected to become available in view of the reduction in available parking spaces for coaches due to the Luas works and other parking restrictions; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26583/17]
View answerThe National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area (GDA), including the Luas Cross City Project. The NTA consult on a regular basis, with various stakeholders at the Luas Traffic Forum, regarding the impacts of works on traffic issues associated with the project, including parking which comes under the remit of Dublin City Council, who are a member of the Forum.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the Authority for a more detailed reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
The referred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
