As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. However, I am not involved in the day-to-day management and operational aspects of public transport - the individual operators are responsible for that, and in this case Dublin Bus and Bus Éireann
Accordingly, I have forwarded the Deputy's question to Dublin Bus and Bus Éireann for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
