Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 2 October 2018
530. Deputy Jack Chambers asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the costs associated with the BusConnects project (details supplied) in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39613/18]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has responsibility for the implementation and development of public transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area (GDA), including the BusConnects project.
As the Deputy is aware, the NTA - supported by Dublin Bus - has just carried out a full public consultation on the BusConnects proposals relating to the network design, and this involved providing local brochures, local face-to-face events organised at various locations around the city, digital imaging of the network, on-line surveys and consultation with user groups. That public consultation process closed on 28th September.
Given their responsibility with regards to this matter, I have forwarded your request to the NTA for their consideration and direct reply. Please notify my office if you have not received a response within 10 working days.
