Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 15 September 2021
255. Deputy Matt Carthy asked the Minister for Transport if he will ensure that private bus operators will be permitted to stop at Reaghstown, County Louth for the purposes of collecting passengers as was previously the case; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44080/21]
View answerAs Minister for Transport I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport.
It is the National Transport Authority (NTA) which has statutory responsibility for securing the provision of public passenger transport services nationally. The NTA also has national responsibility for integrated local and rural transport, including management of the Rural Transport Programme which operates under the Local Link brand.
In light of the NTA's responsibilities in this matter, I have referred your question to the NTA for direct reply to you. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days
