View answer104. Deputy Mark Ward asked the Minister for Transport the status of the BusConnects C spine in the Lucan area; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11581/22]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 49 and 104 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 the NTA's 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.
