Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 14 July 2021
76. Deputy Pauline Tully asked the Minister for Transport the cost in each of the past four years for Bus Éireann to hire buses to operator its routes; the fees received by each private bus operators over this period; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38692/21]
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 operation of public transport services.
In this regard, the matter raised by the Deputy is an operational matter for Bus Éireann. Accordingly, I have referred the Deputy's question to the company for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
