197. Deputy Dara Calleary asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if his attention has been drawn to the fact that a community transport service (details supplied) in County Mayo is to cease operation by the end of 2017; if the circumstances of the discontinuation of the service can be examined; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerMy Department provides funding for the Rural Transport Programme (RTP) to the National Transport Authority (NTA).
The NTA has national responsibility for integrated local and rural transport, including, since 2012, management of the RTP.
In light of the NTA's responsibilities in this matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within 10 working days.
The deferred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
