Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 21 April 2021
348. Deputy Claire Kerrane asked the Minister for Transport if services between Athlone and Roscommon have been reduced; if there are plans to increase transport services following the lifting of public health restrictions; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19093/21]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. However, I am not involved in the day-to-day operations of public transport.
The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for securing the provision of public passenger transport services nationally and for the scheduling of these services. Therefore, the issues raised are a matter for the NTA in conjunction with the relevant transport operators, and I have forwarded the Deputy's questions to the NTA for direct reply.
Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
