Questions (162)

Richard Boyd Barrett

Question:

162. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Transport if he will consult with the National Transport Authority and a company (details supplied) to review the bus timetables of the services 59 and 111 serving Dalkey, Loughlinstown, Killiney and Dún Laoghaire to include a service that caters for school children attending schools, in view of the fact that there is currently no timetabled service that coincides with the finishing times of these schools resulting in many more cars on the road impacting traffic and emissions unnecessarily; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

As 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 conjunction with the relevant transport 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.

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