Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 27 January 2022
165. Deputy Thomas Pringle asked the Minister for Transport if his attention has been drawn to the operation of the 17A bus route by a company (details supplied) as the buses are consistently late or do not show; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4031/22]
View answerWhile as Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport, I am not involved in the operations of public transport. It is the National Transport Authority (NTA) that 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, regarding the operation of the 17A bus route, to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
