Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 February 2018
495. Deputy John Curran asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport further to Parliamentary Question No. 583 of 13 February 2018, the number of the 76 new buses that will be purchased in 2018 by the NTA for Dublin Bus; the number of these that are replacement buses; the number that are new additional buses to provide additional services, routes and capacity; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8481/18]
View answerAs the Deputy is aware, the National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area (GDA) including bus fleet acquisition.
In light of the NTA’s responsibility in this area I have forwarded the Deputy’s question to the Authority for an update on the issue raised. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
