Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 February 2022
265. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Transport the date on which the renovation works on set down bus stop, taxi ranks area of Bray train station will commence; and if his attention has been drawn to the lack of wheelchair accessibility and absence of pedestrian crossings at the site since the new buildings were constructed opposite the station. [8365/22]
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 day-to-day operations of public transport. It is the National Transport Authority (NTA) that has the statutory responsibility for securing the provision of accessible public passenger transport services, in conjunction with the respective service operator. The NTA also provides funding to Local Authorities to install transport infrastructure, for example, accessible bus stops.
As the issues raised by the Deputy concerning Bray Train Station and its environs come under the remit of the NTA, I have forwarded the Deputy's question to them for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
