1058. Deputy Brendan Ryan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his plans to support an increased service for the 101 Bus Éireann route with particular reference to the village of Balrothery in Fingal, which is only served by this bus and does not have another bus or rail service for its growing population; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe National Transport Authority (NTA) has advised that Bus Éireann operates Route 101 under a public service contract.
The service links Balrothery to the Dublin Airport and the City Centre as well as Balbriggan and Drogheda. The service provides 36 weekday departures in each direction with a bus every 20 minutes in the morning and evening peak, and every 30 minutes off peak.
While there are no immediate plans to revise the service, the NTA in conjunction with Bus Éireann is due to review the services along the M1 Corridor in late 2018.
