Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 1 October 2020
79. Deputy Neale Richmond asked the Minister for Transport the reason for the significant gaps in the BusConnects plan (details supplied), which will lead to more passengers going without regular bus services; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27841/20]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, 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, including BusConnects.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for their consideration and direct reply. I ask him to contact my private office if he does not receive a reply within 10 days.
