Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 8 December 2021
43. Deputy Marian Harkin asked the Minister for Transport if he will report on the provision of funding for the new S3 Sligo town bus route designed by the National Transport Authority; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [60657/21]
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, and for the scheduling of these services.
In light of the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
