View answer161. Deputy Emer Higgins asked the Minister for Transport the reason the direct bus route from Dodsboro, Lucan, County Dublin into Dublin city centre at non-peak hours has been removed; if there are plans to reinstate this service to ensure that persons in Dodsboro are serviced at off-peak times; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [59792/21]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 160 and 161 together.
As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area, including the BusConnects programme.
Noting their responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a direct reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
