Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 12 December 2018
211. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if his Department has investigated the use of articulated buses to provide bus services in Dublin; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [52254/18]
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 statutory responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area, including bus fleet acquisition.
Noting the NTA's responsibility for implementation of public transport in the Greater Dublin Area, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a more detailed reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
