Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 173 and 174 together.

As 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 issues raised are matters for the National Transport Authority (NTA) in conjunction with the individual 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.

A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 51
