Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 September 2021
135. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Transport the reason a company (details supplied) is regularly cancelling scheduled services on the number 63 route between Dún Laoghaire and Carrickmines causing service users to arrive late for their employment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44565/21]
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 operations of public transport.
The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for securing the provision of public passenger transport services nationally including the contracting of services with relevant operators.
I have, therefore, forwarded the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
