Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 21 April 2021
337. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Transport if he plans to instruct the National Transport Authority to incorporate the provision of dedicated toilet facilities for bus drivers and staff as part of the development of the BusConnects projects in cities across the country; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18868/21]
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 in the Greater Dublin Area, including BusConnects, and is developing BusConnects programmes in other cities on a non-statutory basis.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a direct reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
