Deputy Tony McLoughlin asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if funding will be allocated by the NTA for a dedicated bus shelter in Grange, County Sligo; the reason no shelter was developed at IT Sligo despite funding being announced for this project in 2016; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 535 and 536 together.
As 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 ensuring the development and delivery of public transport infrastructure, including the provision of bus shelters.
In light of the NTA's responsibility in this area, I have referred the Deputy's question to the Authority for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
